because in this line too much is expected as a gift and the average mortal cannot go through that way. Old Spanish Trail requests are already a burden
and expense to me......if you were merely to look at my letter file of the
past year you would see how these demands continue and hov; often special pressure is put on me. I am now preparing a small "Travel Edition" of Old Spanish Trail and old history material with the hope this will give me some protection against these calls, and some repayment for the money I have spent and the time I have given. You know how I have accumulated, all these years, photographs and historical data so that this wonderful old Spanish story might become accessible to the people.
I am sincerely interested in the Alamo and the trusteeship you women are so nicely exercising and I think ’'understand some of the difficulties that confront you.
I have rather hastily prepared the enclosed outline-suggestion for the book I have in mind. I have not, of late, critically observed the books you now have at the Alamo. There are, undoubtedly, many suggestions that would change this enclosed outline.
Sincerely,
