From Son George Taylor to Parents Edwin & Huldah Taylor - 09/15/1907

St. Peter, Kansas
Sept 15th, 1907

Dear Folks:

I suppose Knud has got home by this time and told you all about the west. The wind is blowing hard and it is getting very dry. we intend to start sowing about Thursday if we get any (rain?).

Ted has been laid up the last week. Got Bitt by a rattlesnake. Got bit on the tongue. Hasn't ate anything for 4 days, but he is getting better. Bob killed nine rattlesnakes the first day he disked sod.

We owe Knud $6.80 yet. Pay him out of Bob's wheat that was the car fare.

Geo

PS Bob said he lost that coal bill but you can find out by Anderson's where he got the coal. Oh, yes they had a fire in Collyer night before last. Burned down the livery Barn and two dwelling houses. Got very near to the Post Office.

Editor's Notes:

Geo is George Taylor, one of the children of Edwin and Hulda (Beaty) Taylor. Bob is Robert Taylor, his brother.

Don't know who Knud was. I'm guessing "Ted" was George's dog.

Marjorie remembered the Taylor's having some kind of farming operation in Collyer that Bob and George farmed. Don't know if it was owned by the Taylor's or rented. They abandoned that after Edwin died when they came back to Concordia. Bob then took over the Taylor Home Place.

Don't know where St Peter, Kansas is in relation to Collyer at this time.
