Dr. ARTHUR ADAMS

REGISTRAR GENERAL

Dear Mr. Bason,

It is a very real pleasure to have your letter and
especially to know that you are feeling so well. That is good
indeed. I dread the thought of an operation unspeakably, but modern
surgery often does wonders, and I am happy that it worked out that
way for you.

I did find in unpacking cartons sent up from Hartford,
some of them, Mr. Thomas Holt Haywood, Sr.'s paper. I assigned to
him Number 11734 in the General Society. I am sorry there was a
confusion- my thinking at first there was only one Thomas Holt Hay-
ward.

I have never had from the North Cs,rolina Society a date

of election for either of the two men. If you can give me a date of”
election, I will enter the same date for the two men.

Yes, "Walter" is a puzzle. For a time, he wrote me
almost every day. Then he stopped writing and I have not heard from
him since I last heard from you- before this letter. I hope you can

put some life or activity into the North Carolina Society. It is my
pet baby, you know.

I shall be very glad to hear from you at any time
about your own genealogical problem or about anything else.

Cordially yours,
