Letter from Asahel Hart Woodruff, 3 January 1886
SALT LAKE CITY,
Dear Father;
I havent time to write just a
few lines to day but I wanted to answer
one or two questions. The man to whom we
rented the farm is named wright, he is an english-
man and lives at present of Cottonwood but is inten
ding to move into farmers ward shortly. He was recom-
-ended to us by Wm Wagstaff and is father to the
young man who used to work for them. Mother
will remember him. The terms on which he has
taken it are these. We are to furnish everything
and receive one half of the crop which is to
consist entirely of cultivated products sutch as corn
potatoes ets. He also intends to raise from 1/2 to 1
acre of garden truck for market, one half the
procedes of which is to be ours. There is to be no
small grains planted. He agreed to take the
team and haul manure with it when
the roads got forzen, but from present
indications they are not likely to be in that
