Kay, In looking closely at the article last night, I took the scan an "lightened it" with software... that is, I removed much of the noise that is attendant upon the original scanned text sent to me by you. While it was not 100% conclusive with respect to Do_ver/Dower/De_ver, it did help me fill in the above missing word... it should read "laity of all CLASSES." Again, this word was slightly mis-struck, and in the original impossible to read. It was only clear after some work. Hopefully we will get a final call on Dervor/Derver and you can post a fully corrected copy of the article. Keep up the really great work Kay. I truly believe that one day I will read one of your articles and come face to face with my gg-grandparents George and/or Mary Anderson. Thanks. Will keep you posted on the outcome.

I'M FORWARDING THIS TO COLIN FERGUSON, WHO CAN MAKE THE CORRECTIONS - OR I CAN SUBMIT A CORRECTED COPY. I KEEP EVERYTHING ON DISK. WILL KEEP "GEORGE AND MARY ANDERSON" IN THE BACK OF MY MIND WITH ALL THOSE OTHER NAMES I ACTUALLY WATCH FOR... I NEVER SEE MY OWN AND I THINK IT'S PRIMARILY BECAUSE THEY WERE CATHOLIC. THEY DON'T GET AS MUCH COVERAGE... THANKS FOR KEEPING TABS ON MY ARTICLE... PLEASE ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU CAN FILL IN THE BLANKS OR SEE AN ERROR.
