[text of the letter from James W. Milnor to (I presume James Purvis Milnor)]

 

April 2nd

 

Dear Milnors – Western Division –

 

Harriet Boyd – A Milnor relative – loaned me an old book she had which we found to be most interesting. In the event that you don’t have a copy or have never seen it, I’ve photocopied a few pages – I’m sure you’ll find it interesting – particularly page 15 which mentions the ferry and I recall your speaking of  rivermen in the family.

Hope everything is ok with you folks.

Sincerely,

[signature of Jim]
