The San Juan County index. (Aztec, N.M.) 1890-19??, 1906-09-07

The following letter was written by
Granville Pendleton, president OF the
New Mexico Bureau Of immigration,
member OF the New Mexico iegisla-
tive assembly from San Juan county
and alleged attorney and real estate
dealer. 1t was provoked by the lady,
Mrs. Lucy Hoyle, refusing to sign a
deed to portion of The 100 acres Of
land in Sec. q, twp. 81 north, range
II west, owned by her and which had
been sold by her agent, II. B. Scott
through Pendleton, and which is now
held by man here Mrs. Hoyle' s
reasons for not wishing TO sign the
deed are best known to herself. Her
statement follows the letter which
Pendleton wrote her, Mira. Hoyle is
widow who enjoys the confidence
and respect of everyone and the :
acres of land which was taken would
probably cost her more to recover
than they are worth. Mr.. Pendleton
can have space in this paper to reply
to this article if he so desires. The
widow, the orphan and all that a
Mason, an Elk and an Odd Fellow
obliges himself to protect seem to
have been forgotten by Mr.. Pendle-
ton. Every human sentiment of right
and honor seem to have been omitted
from his makeup.
Here is the letter;
