Dear Mrs. Walker:
Enclosed herewith are two historical notes and burial record on the Rev. B. F. Dunkin Perry and the burial record on Julia N. Perry.
We are sorry but we were unable to find anything that would verify her date of birth. Her baptism and confirmation were probably in another parish church.
Faithfully yours,

AI Notes
A typed letter on Grace Church (Camden, S.C.) printed letterhead, dated June 13, 1969. Addressed to Mrs. J. P. Walker Jr. at 4275 Garibaldi Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32210, from Mrs. Jas. E. Schwartz, Parish Secretary, enclosing two historical notes and burial records for Rev. B. F. Dunkin Perry and Julia N. Perry. The letterhead names the Rev. Harry E. Lawhon, Jr., Rector. Signature in blue ink. The lower half of the sheet is blank. This letter accompanies the notarized excerpts on pages 642–644 — part of the c. 1969 Perry/Drayton genealogical dossier prepared by Mrs. James Pickens Walker Jr. (the compiler Amy’s daughter-in-law and Hunter’s great-aunt by marriage) in support of Nancy McEwan Green’s Colonial Dames Papers #220 application. The recipient is Mrs. J. P. Walker Jr., the wife of Mary Ann Walker McEwan’s brother James Pickens Walker Jr. (Mary Ann Walker had married Oswald Beverley McEwan in 1941, so she was Mrs. McEwan by 1969); Mrs. J. P. Walker Jr. is therefore Mary Ann’s sister-in-law. Hunter’s grandmother on the Walker side is Mary Ann Walker McEwan herself, not Mrs. J. P. Walker Jr.
