Dear Mr. McQuesten,

I received your letter & am glad to hear that you have been enjoying yourself. I was sorry to hear about Don Sutherland. Regarding the breaking¹ I think we can do all you want. We have ordered an International Gasoline Tractor 20 H.P. An Aultmann & Taylor Separator and a Mogul Five furrow engine Gang to cost $4220. We also intend to run a horse breaking outfit and an ox one. I have ordered the outfits for the 1^st of March as we want to take advantage of the best weather for thrashing the wheat which is in stacks, before we begin to seed.

I suppose when you get your farm broken up that you will rent it on shares. As it is near to us & also that we will have a complete outfit for handling the harvest &c. we would be pleased to have the privilege of renting. I expect we won't be caught in the snow again, except it comes in September. I suppose you will sow oats this year. We would put them in on shares if you wish & I suppose you have heard that Jemima Anderson is married to Alex Smith & living beside Farrer.

I remain,

Yours very truly,

A. Glendinning
