Hastrop, and < xpeeted to return the fol-
lowing Wednisday, but failed to return
to (ianado at all, and nothing definite aw |
to his whereabouts has he«n heard by
rne since he left, exrept that on Novem-
ber I-, was in Houston, and on Novem-
ber Id and 11 was seen in San Antonio
His condition while at San Antonio is
said to have been such as to indicate he
wan laboring under great mental dis-
tress, but I can imagine no cause fur
this except having been in bad health
for several months and having recently
lost, our little daughter by death, which
caused him the greatest grief; ne finally
broke down while absent from home.
He was not given to dissipation of any
kind and was always in good company
and a must affectionate and devoted hus-
band, and in fact, the most perfect man
I ever knew, in every sense of the word.
I am wholly at a loss to account for his
absence or to lorrn any opinion as to
where he may lie, but can not think fur
.1 moment his absence, causing so much
sorrow, has been his voluntary act. Mr.
