Whitcomb - North Family History - page 2

This is another old letter that was typed out, possibly by Frances Whitcomb Daniels [Spaulding]. These typewriter copies of the pages of letters are not likely the original letters, which were probably hand written. It appears that many of these letters were written by an “Uncle Willard” who had been in England early in the 20th century. He did much family history research there. The image below appears to be a continuation of another Whitcomb-North letter (one which is numbered by hand, by Jonathan D. Whitcomb around 1975, “Bg 10” - but those numbers (including “Bg 9” below) probably have little relevance to the order of the original letters written by Uncle Willard. Be aware that this Willard is not the one who is the uncle of Jonathan D. Whitcomb (not the Willard who is the nephew of Frances Whitcomb Daniels Spaulding) for the “Uncle Willard” who wrote these letters did family-history research before the nephew of Frances WDS was born, apparently.
