Dear Sunny and Bill:
Thank you for letting us know about Bob's illness- I love them all but he was/is special to me- I ask his mom to let me name him after my Boy friend in 1925- She did, I named him Robert Earl of course they called him Bobby as they did my firend- I married that friend in June 1926.We were in al in 1972 our 50th wed. ann.We visited Bob whatley and family I told him he was named after his Uncle Bob Burr.He seemed so proud- I do hope they can remove that lung- I've lost Sidney-Tommy- George Martin and Bernices duaghter she was an Attorney and left a son.Bernice and husband have three other children all married one son is an attorney.They say he is re haired and looks a lot like our Buddy- he had cancer.of mothers 13 children we only lost one to cancer that was nevarrah- our mother and papa were cousins--I don't think it really hurt us.In 1972 Bob and I renewed our vows to god and are sure he is leading our lives.hughie's daughter Vera ruth is making a Hamlett Tree and found in the mormons library 3 Hamlett sons came by ship from England in 1701- to N.Y.
