My dear Guy: Fremont 3 March 1885
The Pecans, after three months, reached here today in excellent
condition. Lucy pronounced them the finest she ever saw. Cer-
tainly they are very fine. I shall plant some of them.
We have had an unusually severe winter, and some business fail-
ures that involve me somewhat. I am liable on the paper of a Har-
vester Manufacturing Company to the extent of thirty thousand
dollars. My total liability will be about thirty five thousand. Of
this I must pay about twelve to fifteen thousand. This with my
other debts will make the load too heavy for comfort. But with
economy and careful management I hope to pull through without
large sacrifices of property. Uncle subscribed for the stock as a
public spirited citizen for the benefit of the Community. To carry
out his views I have become involved in it. It is now important
to me, personally, to have an early return of good times.
I like the indications from the President elect. His letter on
the Silver question is wise and bold. Indeed, I see nothing from
Cleveland that is not full of promise for good.
I expect to go to Atlanta during the month on the Slater Edu-
cation business. It will be done, if the Senate adjourns in time.
I will be the guest of Gov Colquitt.
Lucy and all are in usual health.
Sincerely
R. B. Hayes.
