Greeley and the Union Colony Prospectus
The writer extols Greeley Colorado and the Union Colony as a fertile, rapidly growing settlement midway on the Denver Pacific line with about 1,500 inhabitants. It highlights land sales, irrigation canals, rising yields of wheat oats and corn, affordable prices for town and farm lots, strong health benefits, and opportunities for Eastern readers to relocate before price hikes next spring.

Education and migration questions in Greeley letters
A letter from G. Avery of Lepgarp NY writes about education and the idea of moving to Colorado for schooling, noting the need for solid schools in Greeley and asking what educational advancement is possible. The reply describes a graded school house under construction, modest aims, and the sewing machine's impact on Lynn Massachusetts workers and savings to the country. Also included are reflections on self reliance and a note about Ohio liquor law yielding a $7000 verdict for a wife seeking compensation for loss of her husband’s society.
