The following letter was among papers found in the Van Leer writing
box which Marjorie B. Winter inherited. She has tried to transcribe
it exactly with spelling and grammar errors included. Marjorie's
great-grandparents were John Franklin Van Leer, Jr. and Mary Rutter
Bullock. Mary was a daughter of Lewis Bullock and Charlotte Rutter.
Lewis was a brother of William Bullock, and both were sons of
Moses Bullock and Esther Foulk. This letter opens a wonderful
window into the personal lives of these family members. Marjorie
B. Winter has graciously given me her permission to include this
letter with my Bullock/Talley genealogy on my web page. Please
do not distribute it without first contacting Marjorie at marjw@pamlico.net.
