{"product_id":"2940016295824","title":"Milling Papers. Personal Correspondence, 1861-1864","description":"I received a letter from [father] a few days ago, he said that you were looking at land in Claiborne and perhaps, De Soto. I would like very much to know what you have seen. I suppose from your looking else where that you \u0026amp; Mr. Caldwell could not trade. Perhaps you can do better in Claiborne or De Soto but I do know where you can do better in Bossier. The principal recommendation is the amount of open land. Settling in the woods is a tedious and laborious business and it is said by some that a man had better pay five dollars for improved land than one dollar for unimproved.\u003cbr\u003e        David has been here three years and has not more than one third the amount of open land that he should have.\u003cbr\u003e        The condition of things is much better than I expected to find; corn has been selling at 1.25. Mr. Hallum sold one hundred and fifty or two hundred bushels at that price and David has as much as he had this time last year. Pork is selling slowly 5 cts net, the supply is greater than the demand.","brand":"New York, The Sterling Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146670391536,"sku":"2940016295824","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016295824_p0.jpg?v=1763632943","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016295824","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
