Everett, Onaga, Kansas, Oct. 30th, 1902.Topeka, Kansas.Dear Bro.��: -Yours of 27th inst. is at hand and noted. In reply I will say that I do not know much about how money matters are going at the bank, because I have been out in the campaign nearly all the time for a month. But, in a general way, I know that all loanable funds are being rapidly tied up in cattle paper. We have a good corn crop and farmers are borrowing all the money in the banks with which to purchase cattle to feed. Therefore, I think real estate money will be pretty scarce until next summer. I mean that local capital will be invested in cattle paper at better rates that real estate loans. But I have no doubt that these fellows that loan eastern money on real estate will have plenty of it to place on good risks. I will look the field over here and if I can find any one desiring to invest, I will let you know. I do not think that our bank can handle any more real estate loans until next spring.I suppose that you will be interested to know that Mr. Hess has paid for the old horse and your account has credit for $31.50, making your balance with us $32.50. You can draw this at any time you desire, or we can send it to you upon your order.Politically speaking, I think I am on top. But I shall know about that soon. I am not scared.We are all well as usual. Mrs. Dunn and I expected to be in Topeka and see you about a week ago, but we were unable to make the trip. Don't know when we can come now. Best wishes to you all.Yours Truly,J.W. Dunn
