17 January 2003 Email to Shirley Rogers at the Family History Library in SLC.

Hi Shirley,
       Can you extract the following 1860 Census on pg 886 of Butler County for me and send me a bill for what I owe....Really trying to line this all up so you can take over.  Doing what I can to find information on the Internet first and then we'll go for the library research.  This is one of Cray Clark's lines (my son in-law).
Love, Ellie

Hi Ellie:
   Will probably be able to get to it sometime today.  I assume when you say  "extraction" you mean exactly that.... and not a physical copy.  Will be gone  most of the day, but will try to reply sometime this evening.

Hi Shirley,
       I'm sorry Shirley....I would like a physical copy of that census.  Do you ever say things and mean other things. ha  It must be age.  Right  Yes, I like documented proof in physical form on all my records whenever I can get a copy.
Love, Ellie
