Excerpts from a letter that has been received from Cousin Ray of Seattle state, “Mildred, who is a descendant of John-2 and I, also a descendant of John 2, have been very busy entertaining Son Ralph, his wife Mary Lou, and two boys who are home from Nanking, China, where he is Second Secretary in the American Embassy.
“Our older daughter, Harriet, and two children have a house about two miles from us, having driven out from Washington, D. C., with her husband, Howard Waldron, who went to Alaska to continue work for the U. S. Geological Survey. Our younger daughter, Phyllis, works for King County Hospital. She plans to ga back to China in October with Ralph and his family. Ray, Jr., (his wife, Shirley and baby son,Douglass) has one more year at M.I.T. then expects to receive his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering. Thinking of the meeting of the Family at Kennebunkport actually brought a ‘homesick’ feeling and envy for those who live near enough to attend.”
