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.

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

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
