_Kind Sir_: I have been takeing the Defender 4 months I injoy
reading it very much I dont think that there could be a grander
paper printed for the race, then the defender. Dear Editor I am
thinking of leaving for Some good place in the North or West one
I dont Know just which I learn that Nebraska was a very good
climate for the people of the South. I wont you to give me some
ideas on it, Or Some good farming country. I have been public
working for 10 year. I am tired of that, And want to get out on a
good farm. I have a wife and 5 children and we all wont to get
our from town a place an try to buy a good home near good Schools
good Churchs. I am going to leave here as soon as I get able to
work. Some are talking of a free train May 15 But I dont no
anything of that. So I will go to work an then I will be sure, of
my leaving Of course if it run I will go but I am not depending
on it Wages here are so low can scarcely live We can buy enough
to eat we only buy enough to Keep up alive I mean the greater
part of the Race. Women wages are from $1.25 Some time as high
as $2.50. just some time for a whole week.

Hoping Dear Editor that I will get a hearing from you through
return mail, giving me Some ideas and Some Sketches on the
different Climate suitable for our health.
