Note 16 — HUNTING A HOME IN BRAZIL. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The owner of the land proposes to take seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) for the lands lying adjacent to the river Roque, which are supposed to include two thousand acres of good land, but estimated as containing more than double that amount by the proprietor.
The body of land described as of superior quality, in a southwest course from the buildings, with the site of the fazenda, are not offered for sale.
A few families might be accommodated with these lands, but they are not adapted for a large settlement of people.
At one point the Roque tract is said to connect with Angelica, and if that territory can be bought upon similar terms, it would permit extension of the population; but, as was stated, Senor Vergueiro declined to name the price fixed upon that property.
