[Excerpt]
In [August] 1910 at the Esarey Reunion at Branchville, an exchange of Old Letters between the Indiana and Missouri branches was made. And in 1964 it was found that several of Jesse’s letters to California had been saved.
The work of putting them together with the aid of a magnifying glass and some research, has been the pleasure of Mildred Esrey Reynolds.
Mrs. Floyd W. Reynolds
Washington, D.C. 20008
Note: Mildred was the granddaughter of Niles Esrey of Hardin, Missouri, and granddaughter of Jesse Esrey. Myra was the great-great granddaughter of Jesse’s brother Jonathan Davis Esarey and was working on the Esarey genealogy, which she published, with Mildred’s edited transcriptions of these letters, in 1968.
