Paul, it was Potter, not Porter. I am sorry if I didn't spell it right.
Also, it was the Draper manuscripts, not Drayson. I am going out to
California and they have a complete set of the manuscripts. Jane Latta,
sister of John A. Latta married Henry McLaughlin and they are also quite a
well known family. Maybe this will be additional help. Norma
