Title: Perrine Grant Land Company correspondence: to Ingraham re Wietzer

Summary: Letter to James E. Ingraham, probably from Frederick S. Morse, February 14, 1913, which demonstrates the pioneer qualities of the time. "Mr. Wietzer called on us Tuesday morning and since then we have [been] busy showing him the Grant. Have shown him pretty well over the same. We killed a rattlesnake on the old dike in sec. 12 at the northwest corner of the grant. Yesterday we had to take our horses from the wagon and lead them across the worst part of the Benson prairie and then pull the wagon to them, as the bridge across the prairie about the center of the West bdy. of sec. 22 was gone, burned I believe. I first took him to the grove at Kendall and John Hinson told him all about it. Today I shall take him to Homestead, so that he can see how fruit trees grow in the rock."
