A LETTER FRon MRS E. F. LUn,
A DAUGHTER OF THE LATE GLOVER
HAWLEY.

Redlands, CAL, March 80, 1905
Mr. E. L. Johnson, Dear sir: The
BEE containing the last of father S
diary has just come in, and l want to
thank you for the kindly and appreci-
ative manner in which you have edited
and connected the whole matter. You
have made an interesting account of
travel and adventure for the casual
reader, as we'll as to those who would
be interested through acquaintance
with the man himself. Only a few are
left of his day to read of bis travels.
l was born after his return from
California, but 1 we'll remember as a
child how the neighbors enjoyed COM
ing in the evenings to hear his stories
of adventures and gold digging. In
placer mining, which was the kind used
entirely then, the men rocked the pan,
standing above the thighs in the river,
the water icy cold, coming down from
the snow-covered mountains, with
the burning summer sun on their
heads, and it was wonder they had
as good health as they did. Uncle
Tyrus Hawley would sit entranced,
with frequent CALCULATIONS of do
tell!'' ~ want to know" You don't
say!' "Wall, l swow!" While Uncles
Booth, Ben, Isaac and Nichols were
not behind in interest.
After remaining at home for six or
seven years. he took another adventur-
Gus journey, southwark this time. In
the autumn of 1885, with DR. Williams
Of 'Brooktield as companion, he went
to Charleston, S. c., having sent on
ahead of them good horse and buggy.
[ don't remember whether DR. Will
liams remained all the time with him,
but think not. AS agent for Cotton IS
large atlas, he travelled through South
Carolina to Augusta, Ga, where he
staid several weeks, making many
friends among the wealthy planters
and enjoying good success. He spent
some time in Athens and Macon, sell.
ing many books in both places l re:
member his mentioning Gov Howell
Cobb as one Of bis friends.
Owing to the strained relations be-
tween the North and South, he was
