Feb. 12, 1937 Dear Max:

I have some horse manure - probably twenty-five or thirty ton - I want to sell. I'll let you have it reasonable if you take the whole of it. I want to sell it all in a bunch. If you can't use it, Max, tell your neighbors. Come in and see us.

Yours truly, Francis F. yon R T D 4
