Transcription:
1 letterhead Sept 26, 1895 Bro John To speak of paying you any money in my present financial embarrassment is entirely
hopeless. When you were here you offered to assume an incumbrance of 3000. on my home premises and give me 500. and your account
against me for a deed of same. The present incumbrance is 4300. Now if you will take care of that and give me 500. and your
account I will give you a deed to my home premises and to 160 acres of land within 2 1/2 miles of Lodge Pole a fine village
on the UPRR in in 02030 2 letterhead Cheyenne Co Neb. The land is said to be very fine and is clear of all incumbrance.
My home is in good condition of repair and I would be pleased to continue to occupy it and I will send as rent 40. on the
first of each month. This proposition must be accepted soon if at all and unless this or some such proposition is accepted
soon you might as well put that note in your pipe and smoke it. Respectfully D. H. Muir 02030
