1929 March 20 from Mrs. O.L. Reese (monogramed stationery) to Dearest Mary
Scope and Contents
(writes about Mary's move and hopes Mary and Jim will come and visit, can't say positively about Miss Rosa Reid- but quite sure she's one of the old generation, Grandma's grandfather was Samual Reid - Mrs. Slaton's grandfather was William Reid, and other Reids - Edmond, James, Andrew, Henry & Sidney - suppose Rosa Reid is the daughter of one of the sons, haven't kept up since I left La Grange - wish you could find out her father and grandfather name, Neel Reid had "the Family Tree"---before the Civil War they were all wealthy, aristocrats. Mrs. Slaton's mother was the only child (Sallie Fannie Reid) - is where she inherited her fortune. Also Mr. W.D. Grant was only child..lived at West Point, GA., rose bush is green…) Love, Grandma
