Robert Bagwell was murdered by Buck Mays on November 10, 1860. There is an old letter from I.E.C. Mayes, who was apparently a cousin to Buck. Mays told how the family cared for him while he was sick:

"Mays has told so many different tales that no one noes what he killed him for. The greatest part of the people believe he killed him because he was witness for me to tell how Mayes treated me when he seen all his conduct toward me. The morning before he died Robert got Father to employ a lawyer. The morning of the first trial, the lawyer charged him seventy five dollars. Father will have it to pay if you don't. The two physicians that attended him will take all of his crop. Brother John worked his crop, and helped Robert, who he waunted to wait on him while he lay sick. He said, John you be sure that Buck Mayes not wait on me for John is my favorite one. He would tell John while he lay sick that he waunted them that waited on him to get well paid, which was Father and John and myself. Father does not charge him anything for his trouble only the lawyer bill which Father took active part with Robert. Brother John carried his weapon by day and night to take care of Robert if Mayes comes back to do as he said. Robert tole Father that he had land and cows and hogs in Louisiana that he had left in your possession and tole him he waunted him to get it. So no more remains until death. Tell your brothers and sisters to right to me and your mother in particular."

(signed) I.E.C. Mayes to Bayless Bagwell

This was written on the back side of the letter:

"There is one more thing I waunt to tell you. Mayes tells that you and your Father and one of your brothers is after him. He seen you one night. He dodged behind a tree. He said he could feel his hands on ary one of you, so you noe he is haunted. A guilty cousin needs no accussing. I waunt you to tell me how many letters you have received from me. In your letter you waunted them buttons. I have got all of his clothes and everything he brought to me. I will take care of them until you come. I have the bandages that went around his leg. The doctors says he will right to you as soon as he can.

(Compilers note: I have not changed the spelling of the words (waunt (sic: Want) noe (sic: Know) or made any corrections for fear it would loose its meaning. The documents will speak for themselves.
