Letter from Charles Ora Card, 16 November 1889

Salt Lake City Utah U. S. A.
Dear Brother
Agreeable to your
request I forward you a statement of the
expensse of Ranch improvements and
the cutting and putting up hay for the stock.
It exce^e^ds a little of what I told you I
thought it would come to.
We put up about 300 tons of hay and
made the improve you saw and hauled the
material from 26 to 50 miles.
I know we usially do much of such
labor in Older settlements on Labor tithing
but one half the people who are here came
this year and they find themselves excedingly
busy in housing themselves and I have been
compelled to hire those I could, but I have
been very fortunate in procuring good
hands and teams.
The major portion of the Work
done this season will not have to be done
next. Our horse corralls and stables are
as substamtial as the material and
