[Letter from Vica Watts to Kenner K. Rector, August 4, 1869]

Letter from Vica Watts to Kenner K. Rector discussing the flooding that occurred in Texas. She is happy no one's life was lost and all were safe. But as the weather is bad down there so it is in Virginia. Crops have been burnt to a crisp and no rain in sight. Having that bit of rain would be most helpful indeed.
