The season of 1877-78 proved to be the most profitable one I had ever had.
In February, 1878, my wife became tired of traveling, and proceeded to North Platte, Nebraska, where, on our farm adjoining the town, she personally superintended the erection of a comfortable family residence, and had it all completed when I reached there, early in May.
In this house we are now living, and we hope to make it our home for many years to come..
