Series
Scope and Contents note
The personal letters received by Haynes and his wife Parrie are among the most interesting portions of the collection. These letters from family and friends give an authentic account of the condition of rancher in Central Texas in the first half of the 19th century. Of particular interest are the letters which describe the Great Depression years and the letters commenting on politics or seeking Haynes’ endorsement. Among the most noteworthy of the political letters are those dealing with James and Miriam Ferguson who also appear in the business letters.
