User-Contributed Transcription will had 1/2 Million more making 3/4 Million if they can get a new line directly out of the City. But I am cruel writing this long rigmarole of statement in which you do not fell interested at all, instead of what you do want to know. - Whether I am coming home, how soon, and how long I will stay. Well, I cannot tell - Probably if I do make arrangement with the D.S.P. & S. P. they will want me to commence as soon as possible. I should go right home in a few days but stay only a week or two. What do you think of that. Oh Dear - come to think of it - what shall we do. I almost do not want to to to Rail Roading any more - I will not be away from you all the time, or very long. I will not take any place, if I cannot get things to suit pretty well. I presume though we can find some place to suit us in this great North West perhaps better than at Elyria. If Mother comes out this Spring we will want to stay in Elyria, and I will be there whenever I can. If she does not I should if I do get into this, try to make arrangements to get you out here before
