THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 13, 1948 Dear Ethel: I am enclosing you a letter which I have just received from a fellow in England. I don't think I had any grandparents or great-grand parents born in England. George Radcliffe has uncovered a whole raft of Trumans in Maryland who came over from England with Lord Baltimore and later moved to Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The first thing we know we will get the facts and get to the bottom of where we actually came from. I thought maybe you would like to answer this person. As you know, Bess' grandmother was born in England but I don't know where. Mrs. Gates was from England. Sincerely yours, U.S. RECORDS SERVICE DEPARTMENT Miss Ethel Noland 216 North Delaware Street Independence, Missouri
