Scott, 11 Aug.1945 letter to GL,Jr.: Am sending you more Holmes
material, also the part of the 99 lease of which I did not copy fully
before & please pardon the scratch paper it is also pencil
scribbling hope you can read it satisfactorily. This Thomas Holmes son
of your John [Holmes} by Susanna Blackwood has me "put in the spot": I
am wondering if there were two of them ? I sent you a list of household
furniture that your John Holmes sold to Thomas Holmes whom I think was
his (John's) son. There seems to be nothing more of your john Holmes
here after 1825. Your John [Homes] may have been a son of Robert
[Holmes] tho there is no indication so far that he was. You asked me to
send you my fee for research so far. I have spent three full days for
you, two in Salisbury and one in Statesville (over) [... 2nd page not
