Hello Jack, I hope this letter finds you and Dede well. I heard from the publisher today. I wrote her and asked if the book (Reuben) would be ready by the time of the reunion and she is putting a rush order on it so that it will be. I am thrilled! This is what she sent me: "The book will list at $86.00/softcover and $98.00/hardcover. If you choose to order 10 copies, you may purchase at author's price which is $40.00/softcover and $50.00/hardcover." I promised I would let you know as soon as I heard from them. Actually, the price did not change from what I was having to charge for the book, which was $50.00. I just have to order 10 at a time. So far with your order I have 5 orders. I think I have other people who wanted one and had to put them on hold because I sent the book to the publisher, I am going to check. I am going to write to her and see if I can go ahead and send her the money for the order so that as soon as they are done they will ship them to me. But that is between $400.00 and $500.00, so I will have to collect from everyone to send it in. Let me know if you still want it, and if you want the soft or hard cover. I also wanted to ask you if you were ever able to scan the pictures of Luthur Monroe Barrett and the others you mentioned. I would love to put copies of them on their webpages. Hugs, Janet

Janet, I will want one (1) softcopy. I will mail you the $40.00 as soon as possible. Thank you for your work on the book. It is something that everyone wants but does not have the time required to publish a book. You are an angel for your work. The pictures of Luther Monroe Barrett and Sarah Louisa Adams Barrett are in their original frames. I will try to find the time to search my bother's negatives for the copies he produced. This will take time. My copies are in frames. Bud made the copies and framed them and gave them to me as a gift. Bless his soul, I sure miss him. "Now, Little Brother, listen to your Older Brother." Yes brother. I will also be looking for the other negatives, John Whitten Barrett, Hulda Reding Barrett. Also, I will try to find the negatives to the Barrett-Winborn-Whitley reunions at Uncle Lawrence and Aunt Alice Winborn's place in Madisionville. We are all related through Sarah Louisa Adams Barrett. Of course, just about all families in Madison County are related somewhere along the lines. The Barretts, Adams, Winborns, Whitleys, Bobos, Conners, McCanns, etc. I remember Mom and Grandmother talking about various branches of the family. Please give me time. I am fighting Congestive Heart Failure from the Open Heart Surgery I had in 1986. The muscle they removed a portion is now stiff and the Left Ventricle does not empty completely. However, I thank the LORD for each day he gives me. Also, my great gift of his, my sweet Dede. Fifty six and 1/2 years ago. Thanks again for your efforts.
