Title
John F. Leigh to John C. Moore, July 15, 1864
Description
Leigh reports to his father-in-law about an upcoming trip to visit some
refugee friends living in Millican, a railroad depot on the Central in
Grimes County. He also describes the corn crop in Texas as one of the best
he has ever seen, and is generally positive about the region. A few notes
about the health of the "hands," including his wife's household servant
Emily, conclude the letter.
