Dear Sir
On looking thru the files of the "N.E. hist. & Genl. Register", I find it stated that in 1906 you were engaged in the preparation of a "Genealogy of John Houghton of Lancaster, Mass", and I write to ask whether you have published your findings.
I am a descendant of John Houghton, in two lines, as well as of Ralph Houghton, and have spent much time in endeavoring to straighten out the tangle in the grossly inaccurate records published by John Wesley Houghton, some years ago. I shall be very pleased to hear from you.
Yours, very truly,
