Blaine S. Hollimon, Jr., currently of Manila, Philippines, but
formerly of Houston, has sent to the Association the manuscript
diary of R. C. Beale from July 25, 1876, to December 31, 1878.
The diary was kept in a former ledger and is in a good state of
preservation. Beale was an attorney who practiced in the vicinity
of Corsicana but travels took him to Waxahachie, Hillsboro,
Waco, Gatesville, Lampasas, and Belton. He was also in Limestone
County. Mostly the diary records happenings in various court
cases but there are church and family references. Beale records
a total eclipse of the sun in Bell County on July 29, 1878. Thanks
are extended to Mr. Hollimon; the diary will be preserved in the
Eugene C. Barker Texas History Center.
Mr. George F. Haugh, 4 Grace Court Alley, Brooklyn, New
York, has forwarded to the office typed copies of a bibliography he
has prepared on the Texas Navy. Copies have been placed in the
Barker Texas History Center and in the State Archives. Sincere
thanks and appreciation are extended to Mr. Haugh.
Miss Jane Ellen Nicholson of Austin, who is a great grand-
daughter of Miles Barler, the colorful merchant, deputy sheriff,

pictorial items of the Barlers, their family, and their friends in
Llano County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth cen-
turies. The Barler material, which will lend itself to many his-
torical uses-biography, area studies, social history, and so on, has
been deposited in the Archives Collection of the Eugene C. Barker
Texas History Center.
