Mrs. Sarah Johnson,

La Grande, Ore.
Dear Mrs. Johnson:
I thank you very much for your trouble
in again writing me and appreciate the records which you have sent me with
reference to your family. I have copied these and am hastening to return them
to you so that they will not be lost.
Someone in the family, possibly
yourself, gave me your son, William’s address and I several days ago wrote him
asking him if possible to give me what records he could of your children, as I
thought it would be easier for him to write than to trouble you for this
information.
I think you must be feeling better and I
hope that you are. I judge this from the fact that your letter just received
shows very little indication of your being nervous. The letter after you had
had your fall indicated that you were not feeling at all well. If I can ever
get to 88 years of age I will be happy even if I cannot keep my hand steady
enough to write.
I am making some little progress in
getting the data on your grandfather Elijah’s family. It is my guess that by
the time I have completed the records I will have something over 200
descendants without counting the in-laws who have married into the family. The
line to which I belong descending from Elijah’s brother, William, is just about
as numerous.
Hoping that your health continues to
improve, I am
Very sincerely,
Ernest N. Birge.
