I have old letters that are not proven but are always interesting and give a taste of life in "those days." I printed your letter for future reference realizing that you were just passing it on and I thank you for it. Perhaps other will pass their materials on for reference; we know they are often full of misinformation but it's up to us to look into these data. That's what genealogy is all about. Thanks again.
