McFarland-Russell Letter, March 27, 1889 - Page 1

Hamilton, N.Y., Mch. 27,1889.

Mr. R. E. Russell,
Orange, Texas.

Dear Sir,

Your paper received
yesterday, and very glad to hear
even that account; though you
are not the person who was first
addressed and we are unable to
determine satisfactorily who you
are, yet we judge you are a relative
of Henry Russell, or did we
get the name wrong?
I hasten to reply, because while
I received the paper safely, yet if
you were to send a letter, I might
not that so well as you
misdirected. Hamilton is in Madison
