BRYAN TO HAYES
Galveston, Feb. 6th, 1885.
Dear Rud:
Since the receipt of your last (about two months) I have been
moving back and forth trying to reestablish my health. I have
catarrh and bad sore throat; recently I returned from San Antonio
where I spent several weeks in that pure atmosphere. You and
your uncle went out there when you were here in "48 and 49"-
then it was a small Mexican town, now it is a city of 35000 popu-

is unlike any I have seen in or out of Texas. Consumptives go
there to spend the winter from more northern climes; some be-

I was called here to attend to some business or I would be there
now. I expect to return.

were young. I am gratified that you all now know each other
and I hope the friendly relations will continue. Mrs. Hayes won
Guy's heart.
In your last you say that you like myself are a looker on, etc.,

kindly and fairly. You speak of your deep interest in Education
by the General gov't. You have often referred to this in your
previous letters but I have never touched upon the subject in reply
because we do not agree and I did not care to discuss the subject
with you, or combat Curry's opinions as published in a paper of
your town (which you sent me). I think the perpetuation of our
form of government depends upon preservation of local govern-
