Nancy's notes:

This letter from my grandmother Laura Louise Mullins Lynch to her daughter, Dora Louise Lynch Cudney was scanned and emailed to me from Aunt Louise's grand daughter, Sonja Cudney Linder.

Others mentioned that I know who they are:

'Daisy' is Aunt Daisy Lynch, sister of my mom, Annie Lynch Phillips, and Louise Cudney.

'Bob is great Uncle Bob Lynch, never married, lived with Aunt Daisy until his death. (My grandpa Orin Lynch's brother)

'Cheatham' is uncle Cheatham Lynch, brother of Daisy, Louise and Annie.

'Frank' is son of Cheatham Lynch and his wife Katie Hellums Lynch.

'Aaron' is Uncle Aaron Lynch, one of the twin brothers of Cheatham, Louise, Annie and Daisy.

If the person mentioned on page 2 is 'Katie', then it refers to Aunt Katie, Uncle Cheatham's wife.

If the person mentioned on page 2 is 'Hattie' then it is Hattie Myers, owner of the Hotel in Carthage.( I think it was her mother that was sister to my grandpa Lynch that married a Myers.)

If it is "Ruth" on page 2, that would be Aunt Ruth, probably, wife of Aaron Lynch.
