Dear Dr. Benjamin,
Your letter of 6th inst came duly to hand
forwarded from Lacrosse.
I will write Mr. Mims about the taxes. Hope you have more snow for the work of
marketing wheat, etc. Have you arranged
to have our wheat put in with W. L. Summers this winter? I hope so and that you will have John lively
now in transporting all but enough for sowings & for bread. Sell all the old wheat, have it thoroughly
winnowed and see if will not go for ___ extra.
I never gave the Korolzke’s any liberty to pick up anything
in our woods, knowing their tendency to take the live timber. Please have them keep out, I‘ve lost their
way all I wish to. There are timber thieves
in abundance “over there” and I hope you will punish them. I will do my part towards bringing them to
justice.
Glad to hear that Bro Capp is moving toward the church building. Won’t
you get up a real meeting November drawing __ him & __ we will work in St.
Paul & Minneapolis to get some aid.
With all doing something the house can go right along & be ready for
dedication next July. Wilbur Higgins is
one of the committeemen & will take hold any time. The building can be put up 1/3 cheaper to go
at it now, to collect the material and have the church co secured by land by
good title. I hope there will be full
serenity & harmony in going on with the church.
We shall be at St. Paul next Friday. Pleased write us particulars. What is the price of Timothy & Clover
suds? Have them any parties that want
them. (suds) Please give all necessary information. Please mention to R. Mims that I will settle
all personal tax by 7th of March.
Hope he will make out extra expense.
Yours truly,
Asa B. Hutchinson
