I would like to be in contact with, and contacted by contributors to this book. I have many pictures of persons in the above families, and would like to share them. I have tintypes of some of the families, especially the Collins Family, Jacob Warren Collins and his wife Tolitha Eboline Valentine Collins, and their children. I will not be able to return any messages, however, for the next month, so I requested that you wait until after March 3 to contact me.
Sincerely,

Mary Allen Valentine Murphy
