The following letter was among papers found in the Van Leer writing box which Marjorie B. Winter inherited. She has tried to transcribe it exactly with spelling and grammar errors included. Marjorie's great-grandparents were John Franklin Van Leer, Jr. and Mary Rutter Bullock. Mary was a daughter of Lewis Bullock and Charlotte Rutter. Lewis was a brother of John Foulk Bullock, and both were sons of Moses Bullock and Esther Foulk. This letter opens a wonderful window into the personal lives of these family members. Marjorie B.
