Blakesburg Iowa 1-30-86 Mr Geo S Finney I wrote you a letter I think about ten days ago. I hardly expect an answer so soon as this, still we would like to hear from you soon and to know how you got along through such terrible weather as we have had. we see by the papers a great many persons have been found frozen. Isaac Fowlers son and two other men own Claims in Neb they had been off on the RR and getting back got off at a station intending to walk though to there Claims, the storm came on and they go lost they were found afterwords all three frozen dead, in the papers there is 19 reported found frozen to death.
