Hi Joyce,
I received this letter today and I thought I
would share it with you. I also received a tintype photo of Patience M BENSON
GOULD born 21 Feb 1815 and died 12 Oct 1880 along with other pictures of the
family. Three are not identified. I wondered, if we could put them on your site
where someone might be able to recognize them. Let me know what you think.
