Subject: [PA-LAC] A Big Thank You

Hello Joe,
Thanks very much for the immigration records that you retrived for two of my
relatives. Some of the info (ie: Dates) was new to me.
I would like to tell the List that the services provided were fair and
prompt. I paid $10 to you for each of the immigration records which saved
me a trip from Philly to Scranton and taking a day from work.
The records arrived in about a week, which I think is fast. ( a bit faster
than our friends at the govt offices.)

Here is my next request, if you have time to check.

John E. Edwards immigrated about 1881-82.
Frank Houck immigrated about the same time from Germany.

Thanks Joe,
Shawn
