Dear W. C.s
My brother and I certainly enjoyed our visit with you concerning the job you arc doing for the Boulter heirs. We made it back to Denver City about 10:30 Saturday night.Sunday, while we were rehashing all of it with my father, a few more facts came to light. My Uncle John, whom you have down as having no children, had a daughter and a son by his first wife whom he married when he was seventeen. The boy died as a child. He separated from this wife, (Her name was Ida Hopkins and her father was a Baptist preacher In Mills County.) After the separation, she took the daughter and went to Missouri*"" where, my folks do not know. The daughter's name is Birdie, and she was born about 1888 or '89, My Aunt Lena Alien, who lives in Temple, might be able to give you more Information concerning her,My father knows Jessie Hancock; he'has visited her in Idalou. He is going to see her again and talk with her about the old days. He also will find out whether she has the family Bible and any other pertinent papers*My father does remember an Uncle G\is Boulter, but he doesn't know anything about him other than they called him Uncle Gus. Also, for the family tree, there was a daughter of young Lacey Boulter named Etta, who died of diphtheria as a child,I Intend to go to Panhandle to talk with my Aunt Mae about the little black trunk that belongs to ray grandmother and to Stinnett to see whether I can find that missing 320 acres. It will have to warm up first. It was 15° here last night. If I find out anything, J will let you know.

Sincerely,
J.Dee Boulter
