These are five letters to members of the Dace family in Missouri from relatives in Texas and Wisconsin.  Several letters urge moving to Texas where land was readily available, and one very bitter letter speaks of being unsubjugated by the “damd Yankeys” after the Civil War.

 

Mrs. Mabel Reed of Desloge, Missouri, donated this group of letters to the Western Histori­cal Manuscript Collection.  Of the five items in the collection, Mrs. Reed had encapsulated two in clear plastic.  The others were left in their original condition.
