008-03

Des Moines to Sioux City  the company has already made their survey
to Angus - from Angus they have made two surveys to Sioux City- one runs 
about two miles west of Rippey then to
Jefferson then to Brela then to Sioux City the other ones comes west 
from Angus and passes through our farm and 
Grandpa's it ther goes straight
to Brela then it takes the same route as the other. In reference to that rail-
road Ma received your paper that you sent her and was glad for the contents 
in reference to the road but she has not looked after it any 
further - the property is neither leased or rented. Well I must tell you about the school I am teaching 
this spring I am teaching in our district
and can board at home. I like it quite well and wish you could visit it.
There are twenty five enrolled.
