GENTLEMEN :-We secured good location at
Boston and made q fine exhibit. 1t astonished
the Northern people, for most Of them still
looked upon Texas as a cattle country. We had
over As ,060 visitors and used the printed matter
to the best advantage possible. The greatest
lack was for men to answer questions. Very
many wanted to talk of the country that could
produce such show, and although we had
some good men. We could not attend to one
fourth the visitors. have sent q statement to
o. T. Lyon, copy OF which think he will send
you. Boston was proud of our exhibit, and as
Yankee, must saw that l was proud OF my
Texas people. Yours truly, II. W. NYE-
