[2]lonely yet not being acquainted but I think perhaps we shall like it after a while - indeed I need not say we, for John likes it very much and the children seem to be all very happy and contented it is only old and half sick folks like me who find it rather hard to get accustomed to new things. but I must say we are very comfortable. There is good schools here. also a college Anna and Jessie (having graduated from the Portage school) are anxious to attend. I think they will begin next term. Harry, May (and even my baby) John Muir has attended school here almost since we first came Henry Reid teaches in one of the schools here00965 [3]John keeps quite busy as usual he has an interest in a herd of cattle and [illegible] here and his part of the business is to buy stock for the market and keep the books. I suppose you are aware that Brother Dan moved to Lincoln last summer, which is about twenty miles from here. his lungs troubled him very much before he came here, he felt very uneasy about himself. but I am glad to say he seems to have fully regained his health, and is looking well and in the best of spirits. Dan has not been practicing medicine sense he came here until a week or two ago. but has been going back and forth to his farm about 15 miles out, building a little and getting things started generally.
