Mr. Isaac White, Mabee Nova, Ont.
Dear Sir,
your favour of the 28 is to hand and noted. There was a
committee called on me from Ontario this week and they went back to do more
earnest work - Mr C. W. Kaufman is our advisory for your parts. he can
recomend other advisory help if he wishes - and we will appoint them. I
have quite a good line of the Drakes they only date to 1720 that was the
date that John Drake married Magdalena Brower. I have a pretty straight
line of William Drakes heirs a great many of them live in Canada - there is
no specified time to close the work of record hunting. we will have to
give the heirs time - Mr Kaufman of Villa Nova will call a meeting at his
place soon and it will be well for the Drake heirs to go for you will have
a better chance to get information from one another. I hope you will all
go or send delegates and send in your lines - if you wish to gave your
lines looked after the fee will be only $2.00. and your interests will be
looked after - attend to your interests - Mr. Kaufman will inform you about
the stock.
Respectfully,
Mrs Jennie Kepler
618 Jennings Ave.
Cleveland, Ohio
