I appreciated hearing from you -- so

2301 - 40th street" N. W. Washington7" D. C. October 30, 1962 Dear Colonel Mesick: I appreciated hearing from you -- so manymonths ago now-- last January" in fact -- though you would never knoW'because ot: myfailure to reply sooner. I dian tt answer because I had so little information to pass on to anyone. And, I'm sorry to say, I have very little, if' any, more now. Havebeen sidetracked on so manyother things that I just haven't been workingon the 'ramily tree. If I want to get back to it again, and will surely keep in mind your note about Anne'Whitlock_andwill let you knowif I find anything "on-th1.sfamily: Enclosed is a little note on myWhitlocks, just for your information. This family lived in Liberty" Texas" caning to Liberty Countyfrom Louisiana (and William Whitlock cameto Louisiana.from either North or South Carolina -- in later census records, one son said his father was born in North Carolina, and another son said it was South Carolina). Excusethe brevity of this. Just wanted to let you knowthat I did receive your letter and was glad to have it -- and I will keep your inquiry in mind. Sincerely,

(Mrs. o.
