BRYAN TO HAYES
House of Representatives,
My dear Rud: Austin, Texas, Feb. 1st, 1874.
I have this moment received with a large mail your letter of
the 26th ult., announcing the death of your uncle. My old
friend and a man I loved. A pure man a good friend. He
lived a long life, was useful and blessed. I am glad you and
your family were with him months before he died, and that his
last days were passed in the bosom of your family. I am sad
at his death, but I feel that an upright man has passed on by
and will receive such reward hereafter as is allotted to the good
and just in this life, and that he died in green old age. You
will miss him more after his death, and time- will show the neces-
sity of his presence to the full measure of your happiness. I
feel this every day in my own case in regard to her who was my
light and life.
You refer to my entrance into public life, and election to the
speakership. The first was forced upon me, and the latter came
without the slightest electioneering on my part with unanimity
on part of the members. This was very gratifying, and is and
will be a green spot in memory.
You say in your letter "I may say that there is no division
of opinion here as to the course of your late Governor. It seems
to us to have been grossly ill judged. Of course our informa-
tion about it, is of the meagerest sort." I do not know that I
understand you, but if you will write me your views on receipt
