874 THE MORGAN HORSE 



ington, Ky. Edwin Forrest, when three years old, at the United States Horse fair at 

 Springfield, Mass., in 1854, trotted a half mile in one minute and thirty seconds, and re- 

 ceived a premium. The fourth, a horse colt, was foaled in 1856 and is now owned by Mr. 

 Barker, and sired by the same horse, Edwin Forrest. Madam Temple, now in her 1 7th 

 year, is looking finely, at the residence of H. L. Barker, Clinton, and is with foal by his 

 horse Norman. JAMES H. TOWER. 



The foregoing statement is true, according to the best of my knowledge and belief.

 MR. JOSEPH BATTELL Middlebury, Vt. 



Yours of January 28 received. In reply will say my father owned the 2d dam of Flora 

 Temple; also the 1st dam was foaled his. My father bought her of a man by the name 

 of Randall, who lived then in the town of Paris, Oneida Co. We lived in Marshall, but 

 I cannot tell what Mr. Randall's first name was. Neither can I refer you to any one who 

 can. It was a long time ago. It must have been about the year 1840 when father got 

 the mare. He owned her a number of years. I remember her very well; she was blocky 

 built, bay, without mark, mealy nose, weight about 1000 or 1050, free, good driver and 

 fine looking. 



Respectfully yours, 



JOHN L. PECK ".

MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Middlebury, Vt. 



Dolly,the dam of Flora Temple, was five or six years old when my father bought her of 

 Mr. Randall, and I think that was about 1840 not more then a year either way from that. I 

 was a small boy at that time, but I remember the mare well, as she was the first horse I 

 rode. I was born April 2, 1832. Mr. Randall was a tall, rather slim man, about 40 

 years old at that time. Respectfully yours, 



JOHN L. PECK".
