Mr.. Bells letter follows.
February Is. 1891
Mrs. James Watson. Secretary
Mission Chamber az Commerce
Mission. Texas
Dear Mrs. Watson.
Your idea Of sending a trainload
Of vegetables 10 the drought suf-
ferers IS very commendable and 10
would appear that such a PROPOSE
ton could adequately be worked
out. however. IN view Of the fat
that the Red Cross headquarters
AZ ST. Louis failed 20 answer two
kilograms sent them on succeeding
days that I had two carloads or
cabbage and mixed vegetables ready
dOr shipment and urgently request
ed them 70 name point Of destina-
ton and make request for free
transportation.
! do not think that they would
be interested In paving any money
whatsoever for gathering and bad
ing these vegetables. After I had
handled the cars Of vegetables
through the Little Rock Chamber
OF Commerce the Ped Gross then
wired three DAYS later that they
were swampnd with offers Of food
stuffS. so yrYI can readily see n
der the circumstances that 7 do
not feel like sponsoring a move
ment to send a trainload OF vege-
tables 20 the drought sufferers
unless the Red Gross viii first
agree 10 make the necessary re-
quest for transportation and give
us names or towns where they
wish the vegetables sent.
II cost me about $500 In teie-
grams 70 handle the two cars sent
from san Benitc. I am ready and
willing however. 70 Go everything
possible In sending this trainioad
or vegetables TO the drought sur
ferers IN the event the local Red
Cross or someone else viii make
the necessary arrangements with
the st. Louis hendsuarterS.
Yours very truly.
