John:
                   By this mail I sent to your address
Photographs of Self and photographic views of
this Post taken from a bluff across the river 1782
yards distance.    it is not very plain there may
be some plan by which they can be enlarged
and made plainer.    please distribute between
brothers and sisters and if any to spare send view
of Post to Uncle Charles-
 
                             Business good. we will get
out this year four trains.    first cost in States from
90 to 100,000$  This is considerable for our capital. but
we have got a market for them.    I expect one train
daily.    it has been out now for two months.  if we get
through this year safely we shall have capital
enough to drive on our business without being
cramped in money matters-
 
               Love to all.    Write
                                     Yours in haste
A.F.Garrison
