. . I told him that if he did not
hear from me rather promptly to just forget the land . . . You
can imagine my utter amazement when, last Fall, I went out and
found a good part of the land broken up with perhaps 40 acres of
it in a maize crop failure. . . Mr. W-- said he understood the
deal to be that if he did not hear from me to the contrary, then
he was to proceed and crop the land. There you are. . .
Now today, after receiving your letter, I find myself in hot
water. . . I know nothing whatever about wind erosion or how to
deal with it. Whatever I have to do, I will have to do. . . I am
a long way off. I do not drive a car as much as I used to. I am
getting older. . . But I do know I do not expect to continue to
farm it, if I can have my way, which I have not had in the
immediate past. . .
Very Respectfully,
A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING

The Milwaukee Chair Company
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Attention: Mr. Block, I think is the name, President or Gen.
Manager:
The 5 metal chairs . . . were promptly delivered to our office.
They look and sit quite well and we feel sure we are going to
like them for the reception room.
When in Milwaukee my son and I ordered some other and more
expensive chairs--leather--at the same time we ordered the metal
chairs spoken of above, and it is about the delivery of these
leather chairs this letter is directed.
