Fairfield 3. 2. 1870

Dear Sir

I recieved your letter in reply to mine of Feb 1st but have recieved no bank papers as yet. I hear that Gen Howard has land for sale on the Eastern Branch and that persons can pay for it in instalments.

Mother wants me to get a place and as she has a large family she would like about 10 or 15 acres.

Can you let me have so much and what is the price and terms?

Do you give any lumber and how much. An immediate answer will oblige.

Yours &c
