The orchard was reserved but we are to have plenty of using right and peaches to dry. We have thirty five head of cattle in care and ten of them giving milk. Me and Betty attend to them. They are all gentle and but little trouble and we get plenty of milk. We are very well fixed up in our house for Texas. We bought four bedsteads and six chairs and a stove.

Lady is here. Her and Betty is cutting out a new dress as it is damp and rainy and not fit to pick cotton. She is grown and well turned and doesn't chew tobacco nor dip snuff. Dock and Tine is well and doing well and is living on a fine farm and seventy acres of wheat sowed and looking well and talks of sowing his oats right away. Tell James Huston seeing that if he was out here and would go with me out on the Sherman Ferry we would see the finest looking land he ever seen and plenty of it.

I must close for the present. Give my respect to all inquiring friends. Write all of you when you get this.

Beverly and Eliza Harvey

***************************

The "Lady" refereed to in this letter is their granddaughter, Barbara "Lady" Garrison. She was the eldest daughter of Mary Martina "Tine" Harvey and W.F. " Dock" Garrison.

I believe that the Garrison's went to Texas first. Followed by Beverly and Eliza and three of their children. Later about 1881, their son, Wesley Granger and his family along with others moved to Texas.
