GEORGE DODGE AND FAMILY ARRIVE IN FLORIDAPensacola, Florida Oct. 27, 1921 Editor Cheboygan Democrat,Dear Mr, Weber:Well, we are here at last, 111 the land of sunshine and flowers, and it surely looks like a fine country and nearly all the settlers near my son-in-law’s place are Michigan people. We are located ID miles north of Pensacola City on a good road .about a mile from a little town called Fig City. The land here is fine clay-loam with heavy clay and limestone subsoil, it has been burned over so many times since the large timber* was cut off that the top needs some fertilizer before it Will produce good crops or garden stuff. There is lots of places near here that have fine orange groves and paper shell pecans and they hang full now. We can get all the nice orang’es we want at 26c a dozen and fine sweet potatoes at 30c a peck and groceries are fully as cheap as they are at home. /I think the children are going to like their place very well but it will require a lot of work and several years time before they can expect to get very much return from orchard business but garden stuff is always salable here and cows give good returns.We* had a very nice trip coming herel from (holme! to Detroit we* had a lot of rain but after we left Detroit it never mined a bit and our car ran just fine all the way. Never had a blow-out till we got within three miles of Pensacola, then our oldesttire went up.Well I guess this will be enough for this time, now I will give you the address to send the paper which we will be glad to receive.Very truly yours,Geo. Dodge.
