John S Chisum wrote the following letter to his niece Sallie Robert, dated 30 Aug, 1884.
"Dear Niece,
I came here about the 16th instead, and on the 24th I had a operation performed on my throat or jaw where the rising was on my jaw. Some ten months ago this last spring it began to grow, but was not sore but had a hard solid lump and it grew very fast and very large to one side and was still growing very fast so I had it cut off . It was about the size of a beef's kidney...and I can leave for home in a week.
Your Paw and Willie had just left here before I got in, so I did not get to see them. I was told he was going to Arizona, but I got a letter yesterday from Anderson who came here with me. He went back home and he wrote me from Jim Lains and said James was at Lain's branding cattle. From that I suppose he has changed his notion and was going on the Pecos, but I only judge from his being at Lain's. Robert is at the Ranch looking after matters while I am gone. I regretted to leave home but compelled to have this pet cut out. The doctors say if it had not been cut out it would have killed me in about six months more. He says it was the enlargement of the glands.
My best wishes with regards to all, Yours as Ever, John S. Chisum."
