(5) 1910 transcription of a letter from Caleb Barker Sylvester to his brother, Charles Sylvester.

- Notes on the letter indicate that it had recently (circa 1910) been in the possession of William H. TRUE, "youngest son of Eliza SYLVESTER (Widow HANSCOM) later wife of Jonathan TRUE; and a sister of Caleb, William, Charles, etc., children of Charles and Lucy BARKER SYLVESTER."
- The children listed in the first note may be the descendants of Mr. HANSCOM rather than Jonathan TRUE?
