Well.Don Louis.. This Armistice Day..and raining..

Every Straight up to day.. and expecting

my..Pet.Lorraine. any day..

Well Don Louis. I have been writing to every

 body I know.. Far and near: Trying to interest

 them..In buying the Glenns Ferry Ranch.. But up to

 this writing..Nothing doing: So I guess.. The Salt Lake

 Bond Co. will have to sell it to me on a shoe string

order: By financing me fore a period of three years..

Say Louis..What fare.. you suppose.. they would make..

If one put up..this proposition.. up to them.. by asking

them to sell the place.. on a shoe string..fore a tearm

of 10 years at 6 per cent interest.. Say..taking the Ranch

at $20,000..and a finenaure..enough..fore the expenses..

to run the ranch..and money enough..to stock it with about

5000 sheep: All under one bill. With Chattel Mortgage

on livestock.. and First Trust Deed on the Ranch:

That would be better. Then employing a manager. By selling

to a responsible party.. one man alone. there would not be any

friction. If the party in charge. Should not do his dutie

They could foreclose him.

All this sounds good. But I don’t think they would attemp

anything like that.. If I had the address of the head

Mogul.. I belive I would.. just write him..and put up my

plans to him. They will never get anywhere with

ranch. Unless some good.. man.gets hold of it..

fore a term of 10 years.. It will take about 30 or $40,000

To put the land in shape. and stock it up. With about

5000 sheep..

So when you make your..usual trips to Oceanside

And Vista. We will talk this matter over:. It is

worth while..

Tell Dom. The Tuscani’s.. are smoking fine..

Sincerely yours Joe. and Familly.

P.S. I have written to Friends.. as far as St. Joe..Mo.

in fact.. everywhare. about the Ranch.. and they have

Even answered my letters.. Nothing Doing: Boy.
