We are cut off for the first time from supplies.  The R.R. Bridge across the Brazos River was washed away by floods a few days ago.  We have had the hardest rains a few days ago I have seen for many years - The Calorado was up but is going down - Rivers here are quite rapid - & the country as fine as I have ever seen - but the people - rude & savage.  You have seen young ladies at R Sunn the young ladies are more uncivil in church than they even the time that old man Crea preachd there some years ago - don't like see them, flirt & giggle.
