Abstract:
Notes on weather, agriculture, values of crops and livestock. Afraid Iowa railroads will not progress, “as Congress has a president to make this session I wish that the constitution was altered as far as the election of pres and vice pres are concerned and instead of congress making them let them be elected directly by the people without the electors as a go between.” Believes Congress to be “little more than a parcel of demagogues assembled to plunder the public.” Asks for help obtaining a loan to purchase livestock, noting the profits to be made. Considerations on raising enough feed to successfully winter livestock.
