2 More saleable? John Harry (with occasional hired help) have worked hard late Early for the last year (since he illegible
) caring for breaking those horses. the agreement they made The Bankers illegible was that while he was doing so they would
advance or let us have the use of money to live on pay other expences but a few days ago John got a letter stating that we
must not draw on them for any-thing more than feed for the horses help to break care for them. John feels terrible has written
a letter saying that they will have to take the horses he will have to go off try to get work by the day if he can do no better
on the railroad or anything 3 till he can do better but I am in hopes they will not mean so bad as it is for their advantages
that John should take care of them he hoped to sell a carload in the spring to take them east as he thought perhaps there
would be a better market for the kind of horses he has. There is a good deal of the Broncho about them he was deceived in
them where Jim Foster bought them. We don t know whether Jim was or not, he did very reckless things before they parted. I
am glad you are all well that you are so much better I feared you would be very nervous with so much writing. Excuse me for
writing you such dismal news don t say anything about it. I hope
