Yulonda: Thank you kindly for your thoughts anyway. I am fortunate enough to have a copy of the original which I have also transcribed. I sometimes wonder if we will EVER know all of the answers. <<<grin>>> June Message text written by INTERNET:VAPITTSY-L@rootsweb.com >June, I have just been reading your post concerning Archibald Thompson and for some strange reason have saved the web site for Diary of Archibald Thompson. As far as I know at this point, I have no connection with him. I probably just wanted to read the diary, which I have done, and found it very interesting. If you don't have it, I'm sure you will enjoy. Yulonda in IL http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald/ begin 666 Archibald Thompson.url<
