Tear Mr. Moors:
T;e have your letter of April 13th which was brought to the attention of the members of the Hancock County Historical Society at the April meeting on last Monday night.
Cur Society doe3 not have in its possession any document-
ed matter, ’cut we do have members whose families lived in the area of Logtown and Pearlington for many, many years and who could possibly, in a question and answer meeting, give you very pertinent information. For instance, Mr. Horatio Weston’s family started and owned the H. Weston Lumber Company at Logtown, etc.
If and when you could attend a meeting with us we could get some prime people together who have oral history. Just give us a couple of weeks advance notice of your coming.
