Do not go on purpose or
be to much trouble
Dear Seneca,
Should you be
in Warren this week or
next, I would like to have
you go to the Auditors of
file and get some statis-
tics. I would like statis-
tics of each decade from
1860 to 1900. The stock of all
kinds including horses.
The number of tons of hay.
Bushels of all kinds of grain,
Bushels of potatoes,
Numbers of Acres of each,
Numbers of Acres of woodland,
pastures, meadows and plow-
land in 1860 and 1900,
Number of tons of ensilage
in 1900 if listed.
Look in to the matter of corn
millet and all crops raised
for feed and not for
grain.
This will be a big job
and you may not be able
to look it all up. Would like
it to use at grange the 24th
of this month.
If you cannot attend
to it let me know.
I would like to know the am-
ount of fertilizer used in
1900. Also the Maple Inn
deed of 1860 and 1900–
not as particular about this
as the others.
Enclosed find check received
by mail last night.
We somewhat expect Prof. H will go
to Warren Sat. If so we will send you
things by him. G.S. Partridge
Written on side of page:
We will request him to leave them at C.R. Braeline
Friday eve. Mr. Harshman is going
to Warren tomorrow and will
take this bundle to you. Your
old jacket looks pretty bad I
think needs working but that
was impossible for me to do. You
will find the little pin you
looked for on the night shirt.
Your father and [I] think if you
have a good boarding place
and everything is all right
you had best stay where you
are even if it be a big price.
Do you have a stove in your room.
You know if you have good
accomodations, they are some-
thing. I want you to have
a good place. Now keep your
room tidy and nice. Elmer
says tell you Leon paid him
for those pieces. We will send
all the money as soon as
we get that at the express
office. Much love from
Mother
