Dear Cousin Minnie.
We were so happy to spend a few hours with you and to know that you are improving. Next time we get to San Diego I hope to see you fully restored.
I have transcribed my Hemphill data on the accompanying sheets and will be grateful if you will fill out what you can and then pass them on to Margaret Scott and Chester Hemphill to fill in their details and finally return the sheets to me. Of course each may make copies for their own files.
My data on the McAfee family is almost nil and I will welcome any additions anyone can make. All I have is:
James McAfee . . . . . Hopkins
Robert McAfee - . . . . . . . . . Mary Ann Boyd
