James Reese of Jeff. Co.

                                Harriman, Tennessee,
                                   Feb. 16, 1921.

Miss Mary S. Kingsbury,
211 Fifth Ave.,
Wilminton, N. C.

My dear Miss Kingsbury:- Your letter of the 11th and
Reese notes received.

I am at a loss to know about James Reese descending from
Rev. Thomas Reese of S.C., and for the time being, I
cannot find out, however I hope to soon, and will let
you know.  Just let the matter rest, after you have gone
into Mrs. Nelson’s papers, if you do not find what we want.

I am sorry you have not heard from Dr. Tyler, but hope
you will soon.

I too am sorry my sisters Application paper has not been
sent to you, but understand the situation.  The lady who
invited my sister, has had a death in her family, and then
the Chairman of her local Committee has been away for a
number of weeks, hence the delay.  There is nothng to do
but wait.

Many thanks for your kindnesses.

Cordially yours,

CKH/K
