My dear Friends: A year ago my brother and I visited and talked to a lovely lady to whom I promised a photograph of a distant cousin in Michigan, named NEVADA HATCH, because it was said she was the first Anglo-Saxon child born in Nevada. I have now secured it from my brother, Warren Irwin, at 9457 Las Vegas Blvd., Paradise Spa #4, have had a copy made, and herewith send you the original. Sincerely, Merle Irwin."
