Edward Miles to McArdle, October 15, 1885
Handbook of Texas article on Edward Miles
San Antonio Texas October 15th 1885.
Mr. H. A. McArdle
Dear Sir,
Your very complementary letter of the 12th
is duly at hand, and very highly appreciated.
I have a promise of the Picture of
the Alamo from Mr. Gentilz and will obtain one for
you if possible & I may [be] able soon to send you
mine as I am. An Artist in Galveston took
100 or two hundred pictures at Galveston in 1879 of the
Texas Veterans[.] [H]e has mine also.
I have a Photograph of Capt Sylvester from
New Orleans about 3 years since-he is now dead. [H]e was our
color-bearer and 2nd Sergeant.
I am with Respect
Yours Truly
Edward Miles
P.S. I received two pictures from Col Bryan. I have given
the one to [of] "Big Foot" to a neighbor of his who will see that
it is delivered in due season.
