ERA OF COLONIZATION. 87
tell you we heard our last sermon in Virginia. If we wanted to go
to church ever so much, we could find in this part of Texas no
church and no minister. I have heard that in other portions of the
country a few preachers, in spite of the laws, do live and hold ser-
vices. We have not even a Roman Catholic church anywhere near
us. Sunday is spent by most Texans in hunting, fishing, and break-
ing wild horses. All elections are held on Sunday. Some of us,
however, observe the Sabbath, and try to live as if we were still in
Virginia.

Hoping you may make up your mind to pay us a visit, and
with much love to all mly friends,
I am, ever yours,
JULIA C. RAY.
