"Jacob has not used his own place much and I believe may be leased. He has an excellent chance here with his father-in-law if they would work harmoniously. It is a good place, convenient to the main roads, convenient to the irrigation ditch, lays well for farming purposes, easily drained and the both of them should make a good living on this land. We will try to do some missionary work and get them to work in better harmony. He has been working his teams on the roads but this is very poor business for the whole year."
