Note: The above, as best I can gather, was copied from an old record (Bible, I suppose) but I do not know in whose possession it was. Essie Kern, (Mother’s Cousin) and her Brother, Lake Oliver had some old records from which Mother got her information, I think. And the above is the family of our Great, Great-Grandfather Rollins.

The following is from the family record of Almon Rollins and Margaret M. Harris, (our Great-Grandparents), who were married in Montgomery, MO. Apr 26, 1843.

I'm not sure what the abbreviation Randh means unless it is Randolph.
(At this point the letter deals with the History of the Harris Family from Robert Harris of Wales through several generation to the youngest daughter of Jarrot Harris and Jane Ramey named Margaret Harris the wife of Almon Rollins above and mother of William A. Rollins.)

The next piece of paper I have is typed is typed in a different sized type and was very likely folded around the above letter. As follows:
