Scope & Content |
Letter headed Branham Texas, April 6, 1873 from Jefferson Bassett to Eliza Breckinridge telling of problems with his Episcopal Church in Texas and his complaints to their Bishop who says it is up to each church to contribute enough money to pay a minster so the church can grow. Tells of receiving a letter from Nannie and compliments her improved writing style, mentions Ida and Virginia (his daughters?) and Jodie (his wife?) "unites with me in her love to you all". Parts of this letter are badly faded and difficult to read. |
