Dear Mr. Taylor:
Thank you so much for sending me a notice of the Bracewell reunion. How I would love to be there and see everyone but guess we can’t make it this year. We were there two years ago for the special rememberance of my grand-father, Bartow Bracewell. I am the daughter of Walter Tew and Corrie Bracewell. We had such a wonderful time visiting with so many of our loved ones. Merle, my husband enjoyed the occasion very much, too.
I do not remember uncle Walter at all but do remember his wife and Raymond. The way I remember uncle Calvin is right funny. Years ago when my sister, Lillian and I were visiting relatives in and around Bedias, we went by to see uncle Calvin. Don’t remember how the subject of warts came up but I had a wart on one of my fingers and he asked me if I wanted him to take it off. I said, “You can’t do that.” But he went through the ritual of removing warts and then said, “Now, don’t think of it again.” I passed it off as a joke but do you know when I did think of it again, the wart was gone. That is how I rember him as it was so many years ago.
Will you please send me one of the papers being prepared and any other information you may have about our family. If there is any charge for this, please let me know.
Sincerely,
(signed) Frances White
