Item 29

                                                     Burnside, Ky.
                                                         June 16, 1939

My dear Mr. Cole:
                          Your getting mixed about Mrs. Ruth Wait Tuttle and me was perfectly all right – people here, and in Somerset go even farther, and get our daughters mixed!
I am sorry not to be any more help to you than I am, the Carsons – the Dysarts – I have no record of.
In the Cowan record I am enclosing, Polly Ann, 2nd dau. of John W. and Francis Dysart Cowan, could be the Polly Cowan that mar. Johnson Dysart.
I have no record of Dysarts, nor no rememberance [sic] of them as I grew up in Pulaski, Co.
I am a stranger, when it comes to claiming kin in Kentucky, Ohio born, and all my people born there.
My husband’s people are an absorbing interest in my life, I talk it ‘til it is no wonder I am picked out for the one that “belongs”.
I will be very glad if I can, at any time, help in your interesting search.
We enjoyed Mr. Gilmore – the time we talked “family” with him all too short.
                                                      Sincerely,
                                               Mary Stephenson Wait [sig]
