My dear Mr. Deane 
It ia a long time since we have had a talk and 
I fear you had the last word. If you will? get a map of Oregon and 
run a line due west from Portland some 15 or 16 railed you will find 
a little town named Hillsboro. Then go south 5 miles and there is a 
small circle called Farmington. It is here that we have finally 
located. We travelled more than 1000 miles over Oregon roads before 
we made our decision and this place seems to suit us better than 
any other. 
The Willamette is a good sized river and the valley is 
about 150 miles long by 40 wide. I have not seen much of the east

of beautiful natural park and prftirie land, mostly level, but with 
knolls and low hills covered wifrh fir timber. There are many groves 
of beautigul oaks and maples and ashes along the streams. 
Washington Co., of which Hillsboro is the County seat, 
is one of the best and most prosperous in the state. soil is 
very good and. much of it in a high state of cultivation, though 
the main crop is grain, wheat and oats. 
This place of ours is one of 237 acres, being part of 
two Donation Claims, relies of the old day$r when nearly everything 
west of the Rockies was OREGON and a man and his wife and most of 
his children could pick out 320 acres apiece in any place or shape 
they wished. It lies along the Tualatin River, a small stream which
