John's note came; Egan was glad to see it, and thanks John for his thoughtfullness at San Antonio, Texas. He asks why John left that town so soon, for John's father does not want him to be a mere grubber of money, but to see all that is characteristic on the road. John ought to have taken the ride through the Indian Territory. That would have been part of his education. If John only stopped in a city to amuse himself at theaters and in visiting, it would be different. But he ought to see our country, even though he makes no money by it. The deed was made in 1879, from Russel Edwards to M.F. Egan. Egan reports on some of John's friends. He asks John to write him. John's father looks well. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 4pp. 32mo.
