If you think best,
send the deed to
me here at El Paso.
Southern Pacific is
within 4 miles of
El Paso. A. T. & S. F. is
within about
70 miles.
Hear from
home regularly.
All are well.

El Paso. Apr. 27th 1881.

Dear Brother:

Your postal is at
hand. It is altogether probable
that I shall be here for the
next month or six weeks,
though just possible that
my address may be changed.
I am heartily in favor of
selling the land. Could you
not sign the deed for me
and thus save time and
trouble? No trouble could
ever arise from it, and
there is some danger of
its being lost if sent as
the mails are somewhat
uncertain in these parts.
