Hi Casey,

Sorry about not getting back to you any sooner but had to spend my time
getting the last township of Izard County typed up and mailed to Mary
Miller as soon as I could.

How is your search going concerning your Battles? I have done some work
on my Hightower's on this web site but have found out more information on
my allied familes plus found one cousin who send me some pictures of the
Gray family. I was so surprised and happy at the same time.

Well, I need to get back to work. Will get back to you some time after the
holidays...

Mary in Sherman, Tx
