Hi William,

I don't know if this will help, but I recently purchased a used book that appears not to have been opened for about 70 years. It came to me thru a dealer I found on Amazon. Upon flipping through it, an old Western Union telegram fell out. It reads:

NEWYORK NY 1036A MAY 11 1936

MRS F WAINWRIGHT PERKINS
GRAYTON TAYLORVILLE ILL
WHY NO WORD FROM YOU ARE YOU WELL PLEASE WRITE
EMILY

1003A

Intrigued, my wife did a quick Internet search for "Wainwright Perkins" and found your post.

All I can know from this is that someone named "Emily" in New York sent "Mrs. F Wainwright Perkins" in Taylorville, Illinois, a telegram. Does this sound like it might be your family?

Best,
Carlos Brooks
