Date: 09/26/2001 8:49:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From: Chocybrown
To: JoyceTice
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.
Chocy (Charolette Gould Brown)
