George writes to his brothers about purchasing land, crops (including price of), the railroad, the State University of Iowa, and the State Board of Education.
This letter is probably part of another letter. George gives a description of his property, and seems to be explaining portions of a map. Mortgages are also discussed.
The letter seems to be a fragment. The first paragraph discusses the where the writer lives, and details of the surrounding area. The second paragraph discusses information concerning state government and jurisdiction districts. Also mentioned is the State University [later University of Iowa].
