him. Any person wishing to devote his time to Texas history can set
his sights plenty high and still fall far below a record that has already
been made.
The second letter is written by Dr. Claude Elliott of South-
west Texas State Teachers College, San Marcos.
I have just examined the April issue of the Southwestern Historical
Quarterly, and I certainly wish to congratulate the Association and the
editors on the very fine quality of work which has been done under very
adverse circumstances. I am also very glad that the decision was made
to make this particular issue the "Barker number." Dr. Barker is and
always has been a favorite of mine, and I am very happy to see this
honor shown him. I have all issues of The Quarterly since its first
issue in 1897, and this I will consider the most prized issue of all, since
it is the "Barker number" and since I was fortunate enough to have
him autograph the portrait--both the copy presented at the banquet
last year as well as the reproduction in the present issue of The Quarterly.
Some two or three years ago I undertook to collect the writings of Dr.
Barker, and I realized immediately that his writings were numerous, but
I did not have a true conception of the great number of books and
articles which he has published. I am particularly glad to get this
list of his writings.
"The Beginnings of the Society of Mary in Texas, 1852-
1856," by Joseph W. Schmitz of San Antonio was published
in Mid-America (January, 1943). Rev. Mr. Schmitz has pre-
sented several copies of a reprint to the Association, the re-
ceipt of which is gratefully acknowledged.
Forty-two persons or firms contributed books to the 1943
Book Auction of the Association. Donald Day and Frank
Goodwyn served this year as auctioneers and, besides keeping
the audience well entertained, added about $180 to the Asso-
ciation's funds. Their splendid services are much appreciated.
