Citation details: Possession Ann Taylor, Burnet, Burnet, Texas Quality of data: primary evidence Note: Dublin- Jan.15, 1890 - Mr. F. S. Taylor. Highly esteemed friend, Your very welcome letter has just been carefully perused by me, and everything being quiet, no one to disturb me this beautiful cold morning, I thought this my best chance to write. Though I go at it like one in the dark, for I have no news of interest, so you will have to put up with the best I can do. As I am somewhat out of practice of writing on the subject that is now in contemplation, I will have to ask you to excuse any blunder that I may make. Judging you be of a generous nature, I do not hesitate to make the attempt, you being a good judge of human nature. I can say very little of myself, none that you have already found out of me. You have seen me just as you will always find me. Whether or not you will be surprised I cannot say when I tell you there is only two months difference in our ages. I was born in the town of Vernon, Hickman County, Tennessee the 16th of May, 1851, moved to Texas when I was an infant, lived in the town of Bastrop two years, then moved to Rutersville, Fayette County where we remained for a number of years. In that town I spent the happiest and saddest days of my life. I was educated in the Female Academy of Rutersville, and there is where my dear old father was taken from us. He was as true a husband and as kind and generous a father as ever lived. My life has been quite a pleasant one with some few exceptions. I will not undertake to say more on paper for I could write a week on my travels, pleasures and trials. As I have answered your questions, I wait for another time. Dublin- Jan.15, 1890 - Mr. F. S.

As I am somewhat out of practice of writing on the subject that is now in contemplation, I will have to ask you to excuse any blunder that I may make. Judging you be of a generous nature, I do not hesitate to make the attempt, you being a good judge of human nature. I can say very little of myself, none that you have already found out of me. You have seen me just as you will always find me. Whether or not you will be surprised I cannot say when I tell you there is only two months difference in our ages.
