Mrs. Bazemore Writes of Delightful trip to Texas and Oklahoma

Editor of The Herald:

After a most delightful visit to friends and loved ones in Texas and Oklahoma I 
reached home safely on the 7th of Sept.  However the trip proved most too much 
for me and have been sick for several days, but thanks to the Great Physician, 
and also Dr. Gordy, I am now able to be up.

I had a glorious visit, both spiritually and socially, with my sons and 
families and one dear sister and family.  It was indeed a happy reunion with 
these and other loved ones.

During my trip I visited the following places: Alma, Bardwell, Rice, Ennis, 
Fort Worth, Bryson and northwest Texas, Roff and Hickory, Okla. and thence to 
Jerymn*, Texas, where my eldest son resides.  He has a beautiful home located 
in a valley almost surrounded by mountains, and fairly good crops.  Crops in 
this part of Texas were almost a failure last year owing to the dry weather.

While visiting in Jermyn* a great revival meeting was in progress which was 
indeed a feast to my soul.

Next I visited my son in Oklahoma.  He lives in a very rocky country near a 
large cattle and horse ranch.  He raises corn, forage for stock, such as 
millet, sorghum, caffa corn, meadow hay; also some cotton.  However, his cotton 
crop was almost a failure which was a general complaint everywhere I visited.

Since leaving Oklahoma, I have received the sad intelligence of affliction of 
my son, who has almost lost the use of his lower limbs.  Only being able to 
walk by the aid of crutches.

Speaking of the short crops in Texas and Oklahoma, I was in Rice, Tex., just a 
few days before leaving for home and up to that date 1600 bales of cotton had 
been ginned, and still the people are complaining of short crops.

Now, Mr. Editor, I have only given you a short sketch of my trip, but hope at 
an early date to tell you more of Texas and Oklahoma.

Mrs. A.H. Bazemore

*Both spellings were included for this town.  I have no idea which one is 
correct.
