Wilkes-Barre wants no assistance: Mayor C B Sutton, of this city, is in receipt of numerous letters from the cities of this state, New York, New Jersey and other states asking if any help is needed in relieving the distress of the mining population. No help is needed. The mayor is not pleased that any idea to the contrary should get abroad, but highly appreciates the benevolent spirit which prompted the kind offers he has received. It was easy for a mayor to be macho, eh? He had money! I would like to ask if anyone, among those currently subscribed, has any connection to the BURST family or the SOMMERS family of Plymouth Township. I am afraid I have grown rather stagnant on this list, due to working on my mother's lines in NJ and Philadelphia. I have been finding many living cousins. Wish I could say the same for my dad! I am also interested in KELLY with no second E in it, particularly if they were *not* well-to-do, as I think that is a separate line. Thanks, Vince Summers
