Mr. John C. Daves, V.P.,
214 Chamber of Commerce,
Baltimore, Md.

My dear Mr. Daves:-  Thank you very much for your
letter of Nov. 7th, which should have been answered
sooner, but I have been very busy and have not had
time to go into matters of this kind.

Of course you know this is a busy season as well
as the rush of after War affairs and I do not know
just when I can get the data for chart of my application
papers ready.  How much time am I allowed for filing my
application?

Under the Rule of 1854 would a cousin of mine (same
relation as I am) be eligible to the N.C. Society
of the Cincinnati, as a collateral descendant of
Gen. Thomas Sumpter, who lived at one time in N.C.
but died in S.C.?

Thanking you in advance for your attention to these
matters, I am,

Sincerely yours,

CKHG/K
