Letter dated 30 July 2003

Dear Heather

Thank you for any help you may be able to give in completing the Ricketts and Leggett families further. It is extremely fiddly and slow work identifying passengers on these lists.

I hope that the details are not confusing. Where marriage partner surnames are underlined, that means that I have not found a ship for those persons.

What we are prepared to do to extend the bounds of knowledge.

Kind regards
