I'm transcribinb a hand written letter from about 1846....from her brother to my g-g-grandmother.
It's not hard to read, but then there's this: Father thinks he will get a pair of Cocaille horses....
First of all I can't quite make out the 3rd letter in the underlined word, and 2, I can't find anything like it in the dictionary relating to horses. Does this ring any kind of a bell??!!
Molly, could it be Coquille as in the Coquille Indian Tribe? It could relate to horses that they bred?...
