Bryan-Hayes Correspondence
and left for you to adjust and your action for Home Rule were
not thought of. Your differences with leaders of your party, and
the indifference of southern leaders to the struggle were never
recalled. And that the President without support in Congress is
powerless and that no one knows this better than himself was
ignored. These questions I endeavored to recall for thoughtful
minds to dwell upon. I could but allude to them and for my
purpose this was sufficient. I say this to you that you may under-
stand. I accomplished my purpose, and the Galveston News a
few days since again speaks of you--but with no, ridicule.
On the 25th ult., Joel and I met my brother Austin at his
house in Brenham, dined with him and family on his 70th birth-
day-Joel is 72-and I am 66--will be 67 next 12th day of Jan.
I returned here with Joel and will leave in a day or two for
Galveston. My son Guy left me yesterday to return to his school
at the mouth of the Brazos. He is a fine boy; will be 16 next
December. In a few days my daughters will return from Va.
My health has improved by my trip to Mexico, and I am for the
present free from rheumatism. Mrs. Ballinger continues in feeble
health. My last letter from Ballinger in regard to her was more
cheerful, but I fear that she will never recover. She is in Kendall
Co. with Betty, Laura and her little grandson.
Give my regards to your wife and children.
As ever your friend,
Guy M. Bryan.
BRYAN TO HAYES
Galveston, Dec. 28th, 1887.
Dear Rud:
The close of this year and the beginning of another reminds
me that we should each remind the other of our long standing
friendship, and good wishes for the future.
May you long live to enjoy your family, your beautiful home
with all its comforts, and each year grow stronger in the confi-
dence and affections of the American people. Your life so far
has been blessed with health, the greatest of blessings--with it
life is so much more endurable, especially when one has a good
wife and children.
My health has been quite good for me since my return from
Mexico, but now I am beginning to feel again the aches and pains305
