Dear Friend,

I suppose you are anxious to know how the crops¹ turned out well we had a very poor crop the smallest yield we have had since I came to the country. We had know [sic] rain since the 17^th of June and very hot dry winds the average yield of wheat on Summerfallow is about 12 bu. some have as high as 15 but not many I was over and divided the grain on your place on Friday there was 976 bu. altogether I put your share in the shack that is machine weight--now I would like to know what you want me to do with it if you want it sold why I will try & haul it for you 6 cts a bu. is what is allowed for hauling to town I think that you will likely get 1 Northern for it. Harold Palmer did not get the Summerfallow all done as it got to [sic] hard &dry but he said he would do it this fall if you wanted it done as we had a great old sod soaker yesterday & today every person around here quite well

Yours truly

Joseph. A. Clark
