Dear Mrs Ames:-
I did not notice
that it was the other ladies address
you gave as Richburg.
Did you ever know what became
of Dr Frank Vanderberg after the
termination of that Batavia trial of
– well his name was not [B???ell] but
something like that who was suspected of
poisoning his wife with prussic acid.
He had been cavorting more or less with
May Wiard. Just at that time my father
was going down quite fast with cancer
and I had to come over here and lost trace
of matters. I know the defence had Wittlans
and Vaughan of Ann Arbor to prove that.
V. had probably produced any trace of the acid
he got by his own manifestation.
I [?] [?] [?] him as a local chemist
Yours truly,
W.O.A Langs
A.B. has rained all day here.
Believe descendant of a bro. of my great grandfather
live at Olean, having come from Hornell. The bro. of my [g?g?]
located at Bath
Lewis Lampo and another.
