Bob, He stated that he was indebted to a good friend, Ellen Trube, for a lot of his information. It seems that I have in another place that he also corresponded with Margaret Hutchins (if I remember how her name is spelled). I think she is the one whose material Willie sorted, etc. He wrote it in story form to his daughter, Ellen. What I wrote is in part excerpts of this particular letter and part paraphrased because it was rather long. I am certain I have a copy of another letter that takes up where this one left off if my memory serves me right.
