Dear Brother, In
november last myBrother and I
bought a one half interest in J. M.
Leflers flouring Mill. to pay for
which we mortgaged a five acre
lot. we enlarged and remodled
the mill placing new machinery
therein and changing it from the burr
to the roller System. in doing so we einvolved ourselves heavily, being about
$5000.00/100 in debt and we find ourselves
unable to meet our obligations as they
become due. Under these circumstances
we have been endeavoring to sell our
interest in the mill and redeem our
property but have been unable too
thus far. We are now likely to loose
our five acre lot and also the mill unless
we can make a turn soon.
Bro John W Young, has offered
us between 1,900 and 2000 acres of land
in Mexico for our half of the mill. if we
exchange with him we will have to

sell or forfiet our lot but will have
the land in Mexico as an offset.
Will you kindly advise us in
this matter, and greatly oblige
Your Brothers
