Letter from William Wingate Sewall to Samuel T. Sewall
The weather has been very changeable but there have been some warm days and William Wingate Sewall believes that only a few cows will be lost over the winter. Sewall is unsure if the area is suitable for cattle due to the cold, and with all the cattle being brought in, he fears the grass will run out. He suggests Theodore Roosevelt was misled about the profitability of cattle ranching in Dakota Territory. Sewall has not met anyone that is making a profit. Roosevelt will be visiting the ranch soon and Sewall will be happy to see him.
