Letter from C. E. Reed to James Holland Egger, Arkansas 1929
Scotland, Ark
Aug. 12, 1929
Mr. J.H. Egger
Kind Friend,
Francis handed me a letter from you the other day in regard to the oak
timber on your place. You have a large amount of red oak but we have no
market for it yet. In regard to the balance due you in fine timber, do
you remember when we bought the mill from Jack Williams we cut 40
thousand ft. of my timber which you was due me half that much timber off
of your place, but I never got any. Mr. Egger, I have always thought you
was an honest man. If you are, you will consider this account if it is a
few years past. You are due me for a little timber you got pasture near
10 years ago, you intended to put in some timber at the mill to pay for
same. There was only some where abouts 500 ft. So let me heare from you
about this. Do as you would be done by and I will be satisfied.
We are facing the hardest time here that we have ever had. People are
leaving here almost ever day. We have the sorryiest crop I have ever saw.
I can't sell anything. I am going some where to work to get something to
live on this coming winter. I am broke up. Don't thank there will be
enough corn made here to bread the people.
Your Friend,
C. E. Reed

bjberrykeeper@yahoo.com Notes: J.H.Egger is James Holland Egger, son of James Holland
Egger Sr. and Margaret Ann Kolb Egger Givens.
J.H. Egger owned a shingle and lumber mill in Arkansas. Francis is the
daughter of J.H. Egger (her name is Mary Frances Egger). I'm not sure
who C. E. Reed is, but apparently he lived in the area and they were
friends.
