Dear friends,

I have a half-dozen letters from the mid-nineteenth century among the  
voluminous family correspondence in our archives.  I've become quite  
adept at deciphering the handwriting of most of the family members and  
their regular correspondents, but this batch is challenging as the  
writing is cross-hatched--twice!--and in French.

I am posting this message to the list in hopes that one of our  
intrepid members can point me in the direction of an accomplished  
transcriber/translator who would be up to the task and able to  
complete it sometime in the next few months.

Please contact me off-list at [log in to unmask] to discuss details, and I  
look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,

Christian Carr
