Andy grimaced. He wished Coley Joe had written straight, plain letters, without turning so mushy over some girl.

Coley Joe went on to describe the rigors of his trip to the noisy, dusty town of El Paso across the miles of scrub-covered prairie.

In his second letter, along with the yucky love stuff, he wrote of widespread gambling in El Paso and numerous saloons—“too many to count.”

His third letter told of making a friend, “a learned gentleman,” who worked as chief clerk for a district judge. Coley Joe wrote:

My friend has offered his help and promises to ride with me to San Elizario, near El Paso, to meet with a gentleman who wishes to sell a herd of Longhorn cattle. A chief clerk’s job is highly respectable but, alas, pays only a small salary, so he is hoping to collect a commission.
