Dear Mims:
Your letter of several days ago came promptly to hand. I wish to assure you of its appreciation. I am always glad to hear from you, and delighted, at all times to have you visit me. I have been trying to arrange matters here that I might get a day off and run over and see you, but, so far have not succeeded in doing so. I am giving you my promise to go over as soon as I can get through with my crops.
We are having a long dry spell here, and our crops are showing the effects of it. Cotton is small, and fruiting poorly. Old Corn is entirely ruined. Young Corn is still looking promising. I understand that you all had good rains lately-which, of course, mean an improvement in crop prospects. I fully believe all farm products will receive better prices this fall than usual.

[page 2] Sundays [sic] paper said you all had with you, on Saturday, Mike and Theodore. I am just wondering how "Oil and Water" can be very well mixed. Theo, I am sure you are going to look after the interests of Pat Harrison. Did you hear Pat on the Raido [sic], Saturday evening notifying the Vice President of his nomination? Since listening to the many political speeches delivered up at the National Convention, last week, I have become a bit reminiscent, thinking back over the many great political battles that have taken place since the one that I first have any recollection of-the notable one between Tilden and Hayes-a period of sixty years has past [sic] since that Campaign-but still I recall many stirring events that took place. Just the year before, in 1875, there had taken place the bloody Clinton riot-and 4 years previous to that, we had the Dry Grove riot. (over) [page 3] Hope you and Nettie are enjoying good health. I am with expressions of good wishes and kindest regards Your brother C.A. Williams |
