My dear Miss Kingsbury:-
                     I have just
received your card, and write to
say that all of my information when
getting up my papers many years
ago to join the Colonial Dames was
furnished me by my sister—Miss
Julia Robertson whose address is
417 West Trade St., Charlotte N. C.
I have never seen the Reese book you
referred to but know that we had
been written by a Miss Mary Reese

(page two)

of Alabama, and my cousin Miss
Margaret Rankin of Charlotte, also
a descendant of David Reese, who knew
this lady personally, might be able
to help you.  Several years ago
I met here Mr. Pope Reese of Pensacola,
Florida, who told me that the Miss
Mary Reese who wrote the book was
his aunt, and failing to get the
information in Charlotte, you
might write to him.

My sister, Miss Robertson has one of
those books where you write up

(page three)

your ancestry, and I know she will be
glad to tell you what she has on the Reese
page.

Am sorry not to have all this information
myself, but as my sister joined the
Dames just before I did, I lazily copied
what she had.

Trusting you will be able to get the
desired data,

        I remain
            Cordially yours,
            Elizabeth Robertson Brenard
            (Mrs. E. M. Brenard)

Charlotte was my old home, but I married
and came here to live many years ago.
