Dear Mr. Westerfeldti .

When my brother and I were down to see you in January, you said If it were possible for you to do so, you were going over to Bast Texas for the summer to do more research concerning the property of the Boulter heirs. I would like very much to know whether you wera able to do this research work and whether anything new has developed •ince we talked with you. I am still very much interested in this thing; although, as. you say, it is indeed a gamble.
I believe 1 told you in my last letter that my father was going to Idalou to visit Jessie Hancock; ha did so, but it was a fruitless trip. She is so old she just doesn't remember. She did not have the family bible.
I also went to Panhandle to talk with my Aunt Mae (Roberts). She thinks that little black trunk of my grandmothers was lost in shipment when they left New Mexico. It contained my grandfathers' (Young Laeey) papers but probably nothing that would help in your research.
I have been unable to find any trace of the 320 acres supposedly here in Butchinson County. The records just don't go back that far. :
I would appreciate very much a letter from you when you have the time as to any progress you might have made since last; January

Sincerely yours,

J. Dee Boulter
