Huning-Connell Mercantile Correspondence, 1918-1919
File — Box: 6, Folder: 8-9
Scope and Contents
Business correspondence including many letters regarding Huning sheep ranching interests, 1918-1919. Sheep raising was anything but peaceful from an Oct. 28, 1918 Bond-Sargent Company t.l.s. of Oct. 18, 1918 in which L.A. Bond reports "…Mr. Yriart…states that you can not prohibit him from grazing on this land unless you mark all the sections we have leased…he seems to be very independent about it, and as much as stated, that he would do as he pleased." A 1919 letter from "The Cattle Sanitary Board of New Mexico" to Fred D. Huning confirms: "We find the brand "diamond encircling H" recorded for right hip cattle and horses (not left hip) in the name of Fred D. Huning, Los Lunas N.M." A printed Promissory Note document in favor of Huning & Connell, Inc. gives quiet testimony to the firm's lending as well as negotiating extended terms on debts to secure payment. This note remained in the file as it was executed by Fred Huning for $1,000.
