from cousin Bob to Joseph H. Girdler (Hilton Head, S.C.)
Scope and Contents
1979 August 11 handwritten letter telling about relatives writing “Marblehead Memoir” containing letters written by members of our family as far back as your great-grandfather, Captain John Girdler. The “Memoir” is being written by Jim Harrison, husband of Joe’s cousin Girdler Fitch’s daughter, Nancy and Win Pierce, whose line departs from ours back with the children of great great grandfather, Lewis Girdler. Bob says he has seen a copy of the “Memoir” and asks if there are any other letters Joe might know of as Jim Harrison would be interested.
