 | Memorial transfer Thanks for transferring the memorial for Richard Jackman to me. I really appreciate your help. | | | 4th Michigan Infantry
 | Memorial transfer Hi Richard, I've transferred the memorial for Isaac Clark to you. Evidently he's one of "your 6th Mich. Cav. guys" and I know you'll take care of his memorial. Please let me know if I have others that you wish to have transferred, as I'm more than willing to assist you, just as you have done so for me. George | | | Triciay65
 | Violet and Roger Landry Thanks so much for taking the time out to photograph the grave stones of Violet and Roger Landry! | | | Jennie Budden
 | Otis Watson Holiday I cannot thank you enough for the picture of Otis Watson's stone. I know the weather is probably awful since spring is refusing to come. I appreciate your time. Jennie | | | 4th Michigan Infantry
 | Memorial transfer Richard, I have transferred the memorial for Alonzo Blackmore over to you, as I believe you would do the very same thing for me if he were from the Fourth Michigan Infantry. Let me know if I have any others that are on your wish list.
Take Care, George | | | drbuck
