the Dukes are clearing the ground to double the size of their factory this I know & I have heard that they will bring there New York plant back here entirely which will add largely to our population & business.

I have been holding back the bank stock for you, but will have to close soon. You can have any part of $10,000 of the stock & we will take your note for it at %? I make you this offer because I want you interested. Now my dear friend do not think of locating any where else but come with us & lets make your property here worth something. let me hear from you.

Yrs. Truly,

W M Morgan
