Milwaukee Wed Nov 11 1871

Dr Sir

I have your favor of
7th, and beg you will consider
me a subscriber for your
proposed History of Queensbury.
It is the place where my parents
were married on the 28th
day of August 1803. My
father, Seneca Lapham, was
grandson of Benjamin Lapham,
but not the same Benjamin
who was father of your
Stephen. This Stephen,
like many of the Lapham's
was somewhat eccentric in his
ways - though nothing bad -
he was a large & much
respected farmer.

For further information
of the branch to which my
father belonged see the
"Lapham Family Records" which
I send you herewith. -
