the Koonranger informs me, you have preaching only menstrually. What's the matter with you Methodists? Hadn't you better stop that announce- ment - thow yourselves back on your dignity - and 'make out' that you are above puffing yourselves (as a church) in News papers! Please excuse the strain in which I have been scribling. When I began to write this, I felt moody - I felt impressed that I ought to write you all, so I began, not thinking what to say to you. When Willie sent the last paper he asked how I liked it. I thought of that, & querried with myself how I should answer him. The answer occured to me - I put it down - it was the truth - it tickled me - I became facecious in spite of myself & continued to think of, & write about the Koon Ranger - the Koonrange etc. I have spent many pleas- and days & nights in the Koonrange - I love it. We are both well. Our love to Mr. Stagner, Mary & Willie. Write soon to your Brother J. B. Baird NOTES & RECORDS OF DR. JOHN B. BAIRD EDITOR'S NOTE: At the time that these were written J. B. Baird lived in Breckenridge, Texas which we all now know of as Richardson, Dallas County, Texas. Dr. W. D. Baird who supplied us with these records says that at least the first of these notes was not written by J. B. Baird, because he never called himself doctor. $50.00 One day after date (no date given) I promise to pay to Dr. John B. Baird the sum of Fifty Dollars for value received. Dec. 14 1868. Wm. H.
