Montague is suggesting W.S. make a trip to the mountains to alleviate his poor health. Montague came along a man who wanted to buy his place, and is going into the butcher business in Pittsburg, KS in the spring. Talks about how he went to a dance, took a fellow's girl away from him, asked her to come home with him and she ("of course") said yes, which made the fellow red hot. A rain filled up the wells on his farm.
