Mr David Bricker,

Galena, Ohio,

Dear Sir:

Yours of September 26th received. I am glad

to know that you can spare some time to look after the

renting of the Johnson farm. It is nearly out of the question

for me to make satisfactory arrangements with a renter.

Several men have written to me about it, and I enclose you

letters from Mr Edwards, Huddlestun and George Grey. Mr Grey

as you will notice by his letter, wishes to rent for cash.

I expect that if you could make satisfactory arrangements,

with a good man for cash it would probably be better the first

year, than to undertake to stock it on shares. I will leave this

business to you now and any arrangements you may make will be

all right with me. I expect it will be necessary during the

sale for someone to look after my interests, and I will leave

that to you. If you can I would also like to have you attend

to the insurance. There seems to be plenty of men after farms

this fall, and I hope we will be able to get hold of a good one.

Anything you wish to know just write me and I will give you

all the information I can.

Yours truly,

the total rent you being

just $1500. Of course

if you have presented

the check and also the

certificate at the bank

expecting to draw

$2750 on some Owen

would understand that

there was some error.

I am enclosing you a

check for $250, which

added to the 1250 will

make the $1500, you

destroy the $1500 check.

[corresponds to back of item 15 column two of David Bricker Letters]

and keep the $250 check,

and that will make every-

thing a little better. I

believe, covering the $1500

which I wish you to

get from the bank

I note also in your

letter where you loaned

$1600 or thought you

could. I you made the

loan for that amount

let me know and

I will send you

the additional $100,

Hope you will succeed

in renting the balance

Have you rented all the farm to Burr, it seems like that a

good farm should be in demand, the way that produce and live stock

are selling now, things are so high I am hardly making my board, I

notice that hogs are selling above ten cents, let me know as soon

Dear Sir,

I have just received

a letter from mother

stating that you had

you had told her that

some one had been

to see you regarding

the investment of money

I had turned over to

you. It dont look

just square to me

that some one should

just as soon as I get

out of the U.S. when

I have been within

easy communication

for the past 3 years.

So my opinion is that there

is a "nigger" in the wood

pile some where and will

show up sooner or later.

Now Don when I gave

you the money I told

you to take entire control

of it, and invest it as

you thought

best, and of course

to keep within the

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 28)

[page 28]

times. I made the return

to the Court on 1909

and also gave the Bonding

Co all the information

it asked for. I also told

the Courts that any further

information could be obtained

by apply to you.

You have my authority

at all times to handle

that money in the manner

you think best and you

may make the notes any

way you wish, that is

satisfactory to those in

authority over the matter

I do not know whether

the Probate Court or the

Bonding Co or both have

the say in this matter:

It would be well for

you to find out to whom

only we should be

subject to instructions

If the Bonding Co is

going beyound its limits

I will change Co's at the

end of the year.

The great part of the money

turned over to you belongs

to Frances. I could not

tell you the exact amount

without getting all my

papers and counting the

whole thing up.

But anyway you may

fix up the most of the notes

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 30)

[page 30]

[corresponds to item 23 of David Bricker Letters]

to suit those who have

a right to know.

I should ask some one

if I were you about

the matter so you

will know exactly who

to depend upon for

your authority; You

have my consent to do

just as you like in handling

the matter, but of course

keep the business as I

should myself as you are

doing in my stead.

Jan. 27" 1911.

Mr. D. E. Bricker,

Galena, O.

Dear Sir,

I am still at Iloilo, but really did not

expect to be permitted to remain here ^but a

short time when I arrived in September.

As I have told you this is the record

largest city in the Islands and is a

very desirable place to be stationed, and

the policy of the Army is to send the new

arrivals to about the worst place that

can be found for a year or so to init-

iate them. The Climate has changed

entirely since we got here, it is

now very dry and dusty and also very

cool especially at night it has not

rained since Dec 31st and water is very

scarce, the tank to our house has been

dry for some time, and we have to use

distilled water from the Gov'nt plant

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 34)

[page 34]

[corresponds to item 27 of David Bricker Letters]

even for bathing. It will begin to get hot

about the last of this month and will then be

hot and dry until about June and then

we will have plenty of rain again for

six months. Part of the 9th U.S. Infantry

is stationed here, it is one of the regiments

that I served with in China ten years ago.

The garrison is very peculiarly located. The

soldiers are quartered in an old spanish fort

located on the bay, and the officers live

any where in the city they wish or can

find suitable houses. Our house is just one

mile from the hospital, but Uncle Sam

furnished me a team to go to and from the

hospital. I have been trying to size up the

natives ever since I have been here, and

I have about reached the conclusion that

it will be a great many years before they

will be fit to govern themselves, or may

be never. It certainly would be a great

mistake to turn them loose in their present

condition, the Islands are very prosperous

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 35)

[page 35]

[corresponds to item 28 of David Bricker Letters]

The check I left with you to fill in and give to Freshwater

when he should have the Quit Claim deed fixed up

You may destroy now, as I have not heard any

thing from him and should be complete his

work he may send me the bill and I will

settle with him.

By the time I can hear from you it will be

time for another statement to be made up.

I am enclosing a blank for you to fill in

so I will know how all the money is invested

and just how much on hand. Am

enclosing you an envelope in which to send

me all the receipts that you have, it would

be nice for you to keep a list. of the receipts

so that if they should possibly get lost, you

could get duplicates of them.

My Statement for the year will be dated

May 21st so if you take any receipts

after mailing me what you have on

hand now, have them dated after May 21st

when sending the receipts and enclosed blank

(filled in), let me know of any thing else

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 36)

[page 36]

[corresponds to item 29 of David Bricker Letters]

at present, due to the American "[illegible] and

of course our classes are more or less

benefited. The civil government is

spending a great deal of money in improve-

ments, roads, bridges, &. Let the Americans

withdraw from the Islands the prosperity

would soon cease and the country

would rapidly return to a condition

worse then ever before. For all that

the U.S. has done for them the

natives seem sullen and ungrateful.

I hope that you have not been annoyed

any more by any one prying into our

business. I certainly should have been pleased

to have had them come to me ^with inquiries while I was

at home, if they were not authorized by

law I surly would have taken pleasure

in handing them something. As near as I

can judge, ^the affairs of the estate are being

admirably handled, and I don't think

anyone in authority has any [illegible] coming,

but of course the curious alway try to "butt in"

you may think that I may need in

making up my report.

I heard from home some time ago

that you had rented part of the

place again to Burr. I hope that

you will be able to rent the big

pasture before spring, truy to let

some one have it if possible.

I expect you are having some very

cold weather about now, you

better come over here and spend

next winter I will assure you

that you will not get frost bitten.

I hope you are all well and

everything going on nicely.

is just giving the total

receipts during the year instead

of each item separately. It

is all right with me to keep

it as you have been doing if it

is satisfactory to the court.

I am greatly pleased with the

manner in which you have

handled the business during the

I am going to let you supply

During January last we received a letter from Lieutant

possibly the account has been filed and knowing that you are

We presume that you have a copy of same handy.

We also would like to know how the balances as shown by

the account are invested or deposited. You favored us with

a list of the investments during January last also, but in

view of the fact that a new account has been filed, a list of

the investments at this time will be most greatly appreciated.

FIFTH INFANTRY OFFICERS' MESS

PLATTSBURG BARRACKS, N. Y.

Sept 8th 1912.

Mr. D.E. Bricker,

Galena, O.

Dear Sir,

The enclosed letter was rec'd

about a month ago, but owing to

being in the field attending in Army

maneuvers in Connecticut, I neglected

to reply until this date. I told Mr.

Wilcox that I thought you would

settle for all work that you had

authorized to be performed, and that if he

would see you that you would certainly

settle all Just claims against me.

From my recollection of the matter you

did not authorize Burr to do this work

for which he submitted this claim.

Now you do just as you thing right about

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 51)

[page 51]

[corresponds to item 44 of David Bricker Letters]

paying anything to them.

It certainly is a poor practice to

do a piece of work without authority and

then submit a bill for some.

If you think Burr really deserves

anything and that he really did the

farm any benefit, it would be

all right to settle some way with

him, but I dont like to have

them think that they are putting

something over on us.

Do just as you like and it will suit me.

I got back from this maneuver this 4th The

"Bottle" was quite a gravel affair

There were 20,000 men in the fight and

it was quite volistic except of course the

most important thing - the bullets. We marched

back to the port - about 250 miles. through Conn.

Mass. Vermont & N.Y. which is the nicest part of

the country that I have ever been in.

Hope you are feeling as well as

usual and also the family. Yours truly

H.H. VanKirk.

Mr D. E. Bricker

Galena, O.

Dear Sir:

Your statement of my acct with receipts

received. In making of my report to the Court

I find that the income from the Estate for the

past two years May 21- '11 to May 21- 13 amounts

to $2889.31 which seems to be too much.

being $1444.60 per year. Be deducting $800 for

the farm would have $644.60 amount recd

for the money loaned which would be over 10%

on the $6000 that you have on hand.

Possibly you might have made a mistake

in adding of the amounts loaned and deposited

in the bank. According to the statement you have

$6754.98 on hand in bank & loaned out. I wish

you would go over the notes & deposit certificates

to see if there has been any error in adding

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 54)

[page 54]

[corresponds to item 47 of David Bricker Letters]

the amounts. I had an idea that the income

from the estate should amount to somewhere in

the neighborhood of $1200 to $1250 per year.

Of course I am very glad if the $1444. per year

is correct, but I wish to be sure before I

send in my report.

The allowance for Frances during this past year

has been very liberal but I believe she will get

more benefit ^from it from now until she becomes of age

than probably after that time.

About a week ago I received orders to be ready

to go to the Hawaiian Islands at short notice,

on account of the trouble with Japan, but I guess

that has now about blown over, at least

I hope so.

Will you please let me know about the

above as soon as convenient.

Hope you are well

Yours truly

Dear Sir.

Will you please deposit $30.00 in the

Sunbury Bank to my credit. Have

drawn ck for this amount. Am enclosing

receipt to you for some so it will

keep your account straight.

Have not heard yet from the

If you have an opportunity to look

you have a right to do and let me

know I think it would be a good

idea so when I hear from the Company

Was ordered to this place about 10

on account of rebels in Mexico threatening

to cut the water supply to the Imperial Valley

This place is below sea level and hotter than

Hades.

I have just drawn a check on the Galena

there is enough on deposit subject to check to cover

it. I sent $100 home the last of the month, not

expecting to be ordered away, so I find that

I will have to reimburse myself now.

When you get the individual loans adjusted

please send me a statement of how all

the money is carried so that I may

write the company in reply to this

like we were here for business, and I guess

when we get the word this outfit will

be heard from, there are from 500 to 700

Mexican soldiers on the other side they

have plenty of arms & ammunition and are

very well equipped in most ways they

are the federal troops. The Commander of

them says he does not want to see any

trouble but will have to fight if he is ordered

to do so, or if we attack him. The way things

have been [illegible] for the past year I have been

unable to see how we can keep out of Mexico

A great many of the Americans in Mexico who are

causing the trouble have been run out of the U.S.

and are bad characters when the Mexicans try

to punish one of them they appeal to the newspapers

and the State Department and make a terrible

sensation when in reality many of them should

be in jail and probably would if they were in

the U.S. The Mexicans deserve more sympathy

than they get from us, and if we interferred

less with their affairs there would be less war.

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 63)

[page 63]

[corresponds to item 56 of David Bricker Letters]

Of the [illegible] heirs who had not parted with

most they received and on the contrary

had steadily increased the amount

was enough satisfy most any one.

When I get my report ready to send to the

Court I will send to you for the receipts.

Let me know how Bill is getting along

and what repairs you have made

during the past year and how the

farm is looking and anyother

news you may have.

I landed here the 21st of April with two troops

of cavalry one company of Artillery (2 field guns)

and a machine gun platoon. All total 10 officers

and 275 men. We thought the war was on

for sure but in three or four days things

settled down to the way they have been for

a year or more. Our camp is right on the

Mexican line we have the two 3-inch field

guns trained on the Mexican garrison 1300

yards over the line. The ends of the guns

are about 6 feet from the line it looks

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 64)

[page 64]

[corresponds to item 57 of David Bricker Letters]

amount to private individuals. Just

the same as you have in past years.

Frances expenses have been somewhat

larger this year and I expect this

will continue to increase each year

as she is getting to be a real young

lady. I have not heard from the

Bonding Co for quite a long time

They were very insistent for a while

that I should do certain things I think

there must have been some outsider

trying to pry into the business and didnt

know any other way to do it. For the Co

was entirely satisfied with everything for

4 or 5 years then suddenly got very busy

about the affairs It looks to me like some

one was trying to butt in. I guess often

the Co found everything was straight

and that Frances was about the only one

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 65)

[page 65]

[corresponds to item 58 of David Bricker Letters]

this little town Mexicoli just over the line

is a fair example of all the Mexican towns

along the border. It is filled up with

worthless Americans both men and women

who the authorities in Colexico will not

allow to apply their [illegible] or live on this

side of the line they are forced on

the Mexican people whose laws are not

as exacting as ours. The men are of about

the worst type and the women are also.

Of course there are many good American

families in Mexico and I beleive these

have been rarely if ever molested when the

federal government is in control. If we

succeed in destroying the government (which

is Gen Huerta) it is hard to tell what will

happen, probably the serious trouble will then begin.

The rebels seem to be made up generally from

the lower classes in Mexico if they should

gain control of the government I dont think it

would last long as no country I know of is

ruled by the lower class of its citizens

David E. Bricker Letters (p. 66)

[page 66]

[corresponds to item 59 of David Bricker Letters]

We are here in the heat and dust

just waiting for something to turn

up or things to get settled so we can get

away. I dont look for the peace business

to amount to very much as Huerta is

a very strong and able man and I dont

look for him to quit his job mainly

because the U.S. Government demanded

that he should. I don't believe a president

of the U.S. would quit if some other government

told him to and I think he would have

the whole U.S. behind him either right or

wrong. that is about the way the

people of Mexico look at the matter. If

we fight any of them we will have

to fight them all.

Hope you are feeling well and

that the family are all well.

Receipts for all expenditures since

The Bonding Co as you know objected to loans

on individual security, so if I were you and

possible to do so I would cut them down to

the lowest point possible by May 21st.

Send all the papers to me at the above address

by Registered mail. Be sure to have them

securely fixed in a good envelope in

order that they may not get lost. It

might be well for you to make a list of

amounts of all receipts for expenditures so

in case the receipts should get lost we

would at least have the amounts of each.

In giving the amounts loaned please state to whom

loaned, security & rate of interest &, &, &,

let you know if I think of anything else.

Dear Sir:-

Am enclosing a letter I recd from R.C. Beard, and also my

reply, and the petition. I have no objection to signing the petition

if in your opinion it will not be to my disadvantage regarding a road

from Condit straight to Patricks Corners.

A road from Condit straight to Patricks Corners would be a great bene-

fit to the farm, but it seems to me that should they succeed in getting

one only from Condit, to Mt. Pleasant Corners that it might be very hard

to get one the rest of the way. As I know nothing about the case I will

leave it for you to look into and do as you like about sending the peti-

tion to Mr. Beard.

Yours Truly,

P.S.

As they will probably get the pike regardless

of my signature, it might be best to give Mr.

Beard the petition in order to keep his good will

and place him under obligation to sign for a pike

from Mt Pleasant Corners to Patricks Corners should

the land owners along that road ever wish a pike.

Camp Harry J. Jones.

Douglas, Ariz.

Sept 21st 1916

Mr. D.E. Bricker

Galena, O.

Dear Sir,

Enclosed is a letter from the

Bonding Co. requesting a statement

of the business to date. Am sending

it to you as you have all the

necessary data to date.

Am sending you a copy of your

report to me dated June 6th '16

which may help you in filling

in the blank if you did not

keep a copy.

Am also sending you the

amount of money to be

accounted for at my last

report May 21st 1915.

If you will please fill in

the blank so requested I shall

be much obliged

I have signed so you can send

it direct to the company, and

also send me a copy of it.

So I may keep every thing

straight. I hope everything is

going on nicely wit the

farm and the investments

Had a letter from Frances the

other day nothing that she had

arrived home safely and

was ready to start to school

about the middle of the month.

Was very sorry that I did not

get to see her, but reports from

home says she is getting to be quite

a young lady.

There isnt much prospect of

getting away from the border at

present -- looks good for all winter

but of course we can never tell

what politics will do. I think

most of the militia may be taken

away before election but the

Regular army no doubt will stay

indefinitely.

If there is anything else

you need please let me

know and I will furnish

it.

I hope you are feeling good

and enjoying the fall

weather, and that Mrs

Bricker & Charlie are

well also.

It is pretty hot here during

the day but cool at night.

Had a bad dust storm this

afternoon I can taste it

yet. The only redeeming

feature about this place is

that there are a great many

places much worse.

Yours truly

H.H. VanKirk.
