Houston, Texas
11:25 P.M.
September 9, 1900
To: Willis Moore
Chief, U.S. Weather Bureau
First news from Galveston just received by train which could get no closer to the bay shore than six miles where Prairie was strewn with debris and dead bodies. About two hundred corpses counted from train. Large Steamship stranded two miles inland. Nothing could be seen of Galveston. Loss of life and property undoubtedly most appalling. Weather clear and bright here with gentle southeast wind.G.L. Vaughan
