Abstract

The requests are to her uncle by marriage, Lee Bryson, and her grandfather, Fred C. Payne, both of whom granted permission. A letter stating that Jeanette's husband, Winston "Sid" Davis, is "authorized to use all information given to Jeanette Davis by Eunice Toomey [Jeanette’s Aunt], for publication and distribution" as he sees fit from Eunice’s son, Kent, is also included and allowed Sid to donate the collection.
