>Alex,

Do you need more from me and my cousin, or were you able to resurrect
something from the correspondance. My cousin probably can't help, as
his Von Willebrand's is not related to his Latta genes.

I am concerned about what evidence they have to keep Doug in jail.
That sounds pretty bad. I don't think they could keep him in jail,
unless they had something that looked like abuse-some kind of injury.
And, if they don't, I'm glad my family left Scotland some 300 years
ago.

Let me know what you need from us. My cousin may be a long way away,
but he can get information to you asap.

Ellen
