August the 23 1885
Brother Samuel
Yours of the 13 came
to hand in due time
was glad to hear from
you we
are all well as
usual
are having consider
able rain I am not getting
my plowing along as fast
as I would like have not
threshed yet
there is two
mashines in the neighbor
hood now wheat is turning
out good from 25 to 45 bush
els to the acre and a good
qua
lity oats
is not a full crop.
Corn is earing out verry
nice as a general thing thir
it stands a little thin on
the
ground. James has left
the place and gone on
a farm by him self
by that means everything
falls on me
will try to put
out the wheat my self
then in the spring will
hire a man by the month
if I cant sell out which
I would rather do and quit
the business if you can
find any one that wants
to invest send them on
had a letter from brother
James last week they are
all well
don’t say
anything about the post office
It surprised me to hear
that Charles Shrack had
been taken to the asylum
had not known their was
anything wrong with his
mind
tell me in your next
[words missing] where Charles adop
[words missing[ ted boy is.
You ask what Samuel is
doing I cant tell in his
last letter
he said he was
putting up hay and that he
had out some potatoes out
I don’t get any news from Jo
think it would be as
little as he could do to wr
ite to us occasional as he
mite need a little boost
again well as I have wro
te everything that I can th
ink of will close by asking
you to write soon
yours truly
J G to S Andrews
