Dear Mr. Kephart: The reading of an article in last Sunday's Star, of this city, regarding the Smoky Mountain National Park, in which you are given credit for first initiating the idea, suggests what is written below. data sh Swiss s however write a earlies the Amy have tiled comp who sha ow iag I am having considerable di the connection of the immi took, presumably at Basel, as I , I expect to succeed, after whi comprehensive book bringing the t stock, pay the Alsatian barons rioan colonies, and then down ea e data; In any event, even if e letely, space will be devoted to 11 have attained some mark in li fficulty in locating the grant Gebharts with the firmly believe. Ultimately, ch time it is my hope to lines down from the very , through Switzerland, to ch branch as far as I may ach branch cannot be treat- each member of each line fe. Following out this plan, would it be convenient for you to compile complete biographical data, pertaining to each member of your line from Nicholas down who has attained some prominence at least? It would be better, of course, if you could treat on the various bfanches of your line. But, in lieu of that, data on each prominent member will be valuable, and I later shall see what can be done to connect up each with Nicholas and his wife. In doing that, any thought of modesty should be laid aside. The facts should be complete, giving each full credit for any notable act that he may have done. The final editing I will take care of to make the matter appropriate for a genealogy of the scope that I have in mind. If possible, a personal description of each such member should be given in detail, with a photograph. Give approximate height, weight, coloring of hair and. eyes, with description of personality, intellectual attainments, attitudes, etc. Movements, political and other positions, etc., should be fully described, with dates and so on. Are you willing to com- Dile this matter for my later use? It should, include yourself, of course.
