HENRY TOCKKORN - KLEBURG, TEXAS
Interesting Letter
From Sulphur, Okla.
Mr. John E. Davis,
Mesquite, Texas. .
My Dear Sir:
As we people are feeling good
over a due rain, I thought I
would let you people know how
everything was here in God's
country. Most everyt>ody is
done sowiug oats and lots of
them sowed. Most people have
their corn land ready to plant.
There will be lots of cotton plant
ed this year to have money to
buy feed with this coming fall
and winter. 1 have enough feed
to run me and have fed about
thirty head of cattle, but sold
mv cattle yesterday and will
have something like live or six
hundred dollars worth of feed to
se.l and 1 raised nine bales of
cotton besides my feed.
I see you have had rain down
there. It has been dry here
long time. Most everybody
hauling water.
What has become of all the
old writers to the Mesquiter? I
love to read their letters. Ar-
kansaw Traveler come on with a
nice letter. Would also like to
see one more letter'from I. D.
Krowder. I went to my first
school with I. D.v Gee, I most
hato to think of them school
days, it makes us all feel too
old.
Quite a difference then and
now. We had about one or two
boous, blue-backed speller and
Ray's first and second and a
slate and pencil. Look up our
number and see if that isn't
about what we would invoice.
Some difference in the prices
of things. Heef was selling
then at 2 and 8 cents per pound
While now it is too high to even
price. It is funny to think how
time changes things, School
