Miss Idelle Keyes,
14 Charles River Square,
Boston, Mass.

Dear Madam:- Please pardon my long delay in answering your
letter of Jan. 29th, enclosing information asked for.

I am enclosing a list of 17 Mass. ancestors, which I would
like to know what your charges would be to give references
by volume and page of those that could be used for Colonial
Dames papers.  There may possibly be one or two of them that
are not alright for papers of that kind.

Most of the services of these men have been verified by the
Mass. Society of Colonial Wars, but I want the references for
Colonial Dame papers, which I hope to have my daughter (now
15 years of age) use some day.  You see I want them in shape 
so that if I should drop off, that she could fill out her
application papers with out any trouble, should she be for-
tunate enough to receive an invitation to join the Society,
She has Southern ancestry that has been approved by the
States where these ancestors lived, which she can also use,
but I am especially anxious to leave these papers in the
proper shape, if I do not live to see her become a member of
the Colonial Dames of America.

You will note that I have left a wide margin on the left hand
of the sheets, where the references can be put in.

Please advise your charges, and I will let you know what I
wish done, thanking you in advance for your prompt attention
to this matter, I am,


Yours very truly,


CKH/K
