Portage Wis. May 16 1882 Dear Daniel Your letter of the 12th illegible is received, and brings good news I am glad to
know that you are all well and that business is increasing and also that you have sold your farm, as it did not suit your
expectations In regard to the money I may say that I have no immediate use for it as I have not yet found a suitable house
or even lot but am looking out all the time and as you can send it any time on ten days notice -
