bjberrykeeper@yahoo.com Notes: This letter is from William "Edd" Edward Egger, the son
of Fannie Clara Kendrick and James Holland Egger, Jr. The apple grounded
at the house was for good luck. George is Edd's little brother. Mandie
and Exeum are Exeum Claphos Egger (Edd's older brother) and Amanda
"Mandie" Bost. They will marry soon after this letter was written. The
George and Rosie that are mentioned in the letter are George Egger (Edd's
little brother) and George's "intended", Rosie McNabb.
