Thanks Carole,
The book I ordered, arrived today, "The Letters of George Catlin and His
Family," by Marjorie Catlin Roehm. I've been riveted!
Still nothing concrete, but poor ne'er-do-well Henry complains that neither of his
sons who went off the fight in the [Civil] War have written to him, not once, and he knows
not if they are living or dead.... dead, he supposes, since they haven't written...
But all of Henry "correspondence" involves asking for money, or explaining why
he can not yet pay someone back!
Do you happen to mean Fred son of Francis? The indexed reference to the name Fred,
don't have anything very enlightening.
