A Short Letter From M. A. Dewey Now of Elroy, Wis.

Elroy, Wis., Dec. 20, 1914. Editor Democrat, Dear Sir: This leaves me poorly, as my rheumatism is very bad. I can hardly get around. We moved from LaFarge, Wis., close to Kendall, 25 miles. The trip was very hard on ua both. We came over in a hack. I was. completely done up. You wrote me for a little history of my travels in the west, but as we were on the eve of Amoving, I could not comply. Will say that South Dakota is the nicest country that I ever saw, if they could have the moisture. But it is too dry, although the best cattle country I have seen. I stayed two winters there and I never had to wear an overcoat except when I went to town. Am so blind I can’t read any more. When \ye get The Democrat it is like one of the family come home, and it has to be read at once. We are getting along financially very well. We send our best regards to you and all the good people of Jasper. Very truly yours,

M. A. DEWEY.
