It is born in me to love it, to handle it easily, to get the best results from stock.

I am going to take the Merriweather place adjoining ours on the west, and yours on the south.

I intend to lease it for ten years, with purchase privilege at the end, so that if I make of it what I plan, my work will not be lost to me.

I had thought to fix up the place and begin farming.

If Miss Pryor has any use whatever for me, and prefers stock, that is all right with me.
