A letter written April 1888 says "My mother, sister Julia and Walter are in Colorado. Mother and Julia went out there last March and each took up a pre-emption. Their land joins and their shanties, I think I won't call them houses, are about forty rods apart. I spent last summer with them and had a real restful time, which means a great deal to one tired out. I expect to spend the summer there and I may possibly get me some land if our fortune arrives. if not I presume I will still continue teaching the young ideas learn to school.." M. B. Sargent
