LETTER FROM JAS. A. EMMoNs.

LETTER FROM JAS. A. EMMONS.
Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter has re-
.ceived a letter from James A. Emmons
and wife of Oklahoma, under date of
July IS, 1900, in which he says:
1t filled us with pleasure to hear of
you and yours, and of the loved old
pioneers, although it waited the. sor-s
rowful news of the death OF. Mrs.
Stoyel and Minnie. Our tears and
prayers are mingled with yours in our
mutual bereavement. This leaves me
in health; Mrs. 3. fairly well. Our
crops, fruits and cereals and vegetables
are fine, in fact our country here is
IDEAL in all that mankind can wish
but without the romance and thrill of
the enlivening annals of the land of
the Dakotas, some times when think
and dream of the story of our Bis
marck pioneers realize how grandly
pathetic is their history. In this
beautiful and fertile territory is pop
ulation 20 per cent American-of the
oldest ancestry of the country-like
those of your own Dakota OF the early
days. will here devote a page to the
dear old timers How are Russell
Marsh and Major Dickey? Give our
love to our good Sisters Davis, Dunn,
Donnelly, Suttle and Marsh Trust
ing that troubles and trials will be to
them invisible and happiness as re-
splendent brood and solacing as the
life giving springtime sun, and that
you may all enter the harvest time Of
life's autumn knowing you have full
filled all the duties of life and prepared
for the eternal. Please say to Mrs.
Davis that our family crest which she
painted in 1883 hangs over my desk as
lifelike and as highly priced as the
day It left the fair hand Of the artist.
I will send you a copy of our home
paper containing my speech at one of.
our great meetings celebrating the arr
rival OF the trains and in favor OF free
homes. l'm Il have more Invitations to
speak on various subjects and occa-
sions than can fill, and. dear friend,
the strangest part OF it is that I cannot
comp prehend why the people here love
TO hear me speak. Tel DR.. Dunn and
E- Williams that between the Ar
Il
kansan and Cimmeron midway is stu
|ated Mount Pisgah and we live on the
slope that borders the promised land.
If at any time any Of you dear old
timers conclude to visit this sunny
land our cabin has no useless lock on
the door and you can add to our hap
piness by your presence. Will be glad
if some old timer would occasionalay
send Us q Tribune or Settler Regards
and love to all the pioneers.
