Dear Mr. Gordon:

    Mr. Van Hoorbeeke sent your request for information on the Wilson's for "Palmdale Pioneers" on to me, as Craig's oldest daughter. I have very little family material here to work with, but have enclosed what I could.

    I have a copy of my Grandfather's (the Rev. Jesse C. Wilson) diary for 1939, which says on May 15, 1939 "Called in the evening at the McAdam's new home. Mrs. Frank McAdam also there. Very roomy and comfortable." As a child, I took piano lessons there, from Mary McAdam and always admired the house too.

    I would be most interested in reading "Palmdale Pioneers", and would like to make copies for my sisters, who would also be interested. My husband and I try to come to Palmdale a couple of times a year regarding our property, and I'll give you a call the next time.

    My Best regards for your project and to you. Sincerely,

Jan Wilson Kaufman
(Mrs.Stuart J.)
