Feb'y 11 1913
Dear Mims:
I was in Jackson a few days since and some one told me, at the Miss- Colten Oil Co., that the W.C. Ellis Co had liquidated, and gone out of business.
I feel very much interested to know what you expect to do.
The outlook in our afflicted Country is indeed gloomy, but it is not so in many other parts of the county. The opportunity in many parts of our vast Country are as bright as they ever were. And as much can be accomplished as there ever has been.
I realize that I am not so young as I was a few years back, and that my health is not so good as it was

| Transcript | Feb'y 11 1913 Dear Mims: I was in Jackson a few days since and some one told me, at the Miss- Colten Oil Co., that the W.C. Ellis Co had liquidated, and gone out of business. I feel very much interested to know what you expect to do. The outlook in our afflicted Country is indeed gloomy, but it is not so in many other parts of the county. The opportunity in many parts of our vast Country are as bright as they ever were. And as much can be accomplished as there ever has been. I realize that I am not so young as I was a few years back, and that my health is not so good as it was [page 2] and also that I have now a very large family, but I have the knowledge of past experiences, have grown in industry, and economy, and have acquired the habit of grim determination to do or try to do so long as I am able. These are "home-made" attributes, but I think with them I shall some day make good. Do you think of going to Washington on 4th of Mch? I guess a great many from old Miss. will attend. This leaves all well. Can you not come to see us some time-be glad to have you come & spend a while with us, before going back in to business. Yr bro Cam |
