Letters

As a family we are so fortunate to have a trove of letters, preserved by generation after generation in an old black tin box.

We are also lucky to have had Page Life, from Chapel Hill, NC, who transcribed many of these letters as part of her research into Major General Sir James Wilson.

I’ll attempt to organize and share some of these transcriptions, as well as those scans of the originals that I have.

Starting here, with the earliest.

  1. Hi Rob, I have just found an old email in a bag about the Horns. I want to send it to you, but it’s faded a bit and a photo is useless. For some reason I can’t find your email. Will keep searching
    Love Rob
