Irish-American September 19, 1857 Advertisement HOMES FOR EMIGRANTS The undersigned is now prepared to furnish, in any quantities from 100 to 1,000 acres good farming and grazing lands in Western Virginia, within twelve or fifteen hours of Baltimore or Washington, and within twenty-four hours of Philadelphia or New York. The lands are fertile and well timbered; the climate healthy, and so mild that sheep can be ordinarily wintered with very little, and in favorable seasons, without any feeding. The few scattered inhabitants are friendly to the movement, and will give the immigrants an old fashioned Virginia welcome. The lands will be sold to the first purchasers, to the extent of 100,000 acres, for one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre; one fourth down, and the residue in one, two and three years, with annual interest at the rate of six per cent. For further particulars inquire at the office, No. 25 Nassau Street, corner of Cedar, opposite the Post Office. John C. UNDERWOOD Secretary of Emigrant Aid and Homestead Company
