dc.description.transcriptionBonham Sept. 27, ‘91 Dear Brother and Sister: This will break the long silence between us - the why is I suppose is the prep of the other duties. “All well,” up and going. All going to school but Winnie and Albert – could not get him to go anywhere Daisie goes to Uncle C. the rest to the free school. They can’t do much worse than they did, Uncle C. has between 50 & 60 Scholars. There are over 400 in the Public School. Private Schools nearly all ruined for the present. Uncle C’s is the largest I believe. But they cannot complain. They or the most of them worked and voted for the tax. I told them they were working against themselves. Well an other meeting is upon us again. Without the advice of any one but Uncle C. against the wishes of many of our best members. But Uncle C. is running things to suit himself – regardless of the feelings of others. He or they Sam, Charley and a few others will not let any one preach here any length of time unless they are in line and work and teach according to the views of State board &ect. Some of them kept Bro. Lanniase from coming. Then Bro. Polly was to come – word came that Small Pox was at rockwall. Uncle C. wrote bro. P that he had better not come – that the people would not come to hear – never has written him to come since the excitement is over – he feels hurt over it and who could blame him. But, away. The long wished for rain has come and the heavy dust is made into mud. Water is beginning to get scarce is some sections. Trust you had a good beginning, and are now moving on smoothly with a full school. I am again working for Murphy & till Jan 1st 92 - if nothing prevents. No news save the sad word that Frank White had his arm torn so badly in thresher that it had to be amputated. The great rush is over for the fair. The racing was the attraction. How could you have managed your school here. Scools all dismissed Fryday. The display was very good for a country fair, Love of all to all. Affectinately, J.Y. McQuigg
