I am sending it to every county^ s&te town in Texas outside of the Fandhandle. we must get the OST advertised in Ten we may ftave a commission like Alabama some day add we. will need to be well and favorable known then.
The rains are going to blow us up for our convention if wan they continue as they have for.the past 3 or 3 weeks.
Everything looks good nod 'and we will have the biggest thing every attempted in this country if we can put it over without being rained out we will have a number of big men participate in the trip, t am enclosing you some clippings please return them for my files, I have about 8 coluns more of the log and a descriptive write up that Wasson ma.de and the chronicle published, but the printer has it in a revised for putting it in the Bulletin, I will send you the copy as soon as ready.
Barrel, I am so slow on the machine I cant write you any more now and we are awfully busy getting out our 'convention dope.
My plans are to make this the one proposition that will enable us to get what•finances we need, r am promised $5.000.00 for El Paso but I dont know how long it will take to get it,it take money to put on thie convention but I will raise enough to put it over with Thompson and Shave if t can keep them going, the rainey weather makes it slow business for them.
Somebody found your lost shirts etc, and I ara sending them to Mobile Parcel post Tnstored; I guess you will leave Washington before thay would reach there, at any rate .1 think now I should send them to Mobile, You. didnt tell me to send your mail.to any Hotel so _ dont know wheater to Send it to the Club ois Hotel,.
