G. E. Valley Jr.'s research notes, late August to mid-September 1986: the cost of copying his Ringgold report (VLCME9) for the family, a letter of 12 Sep 1986 (probably to Professor Hancock), calls to the Baltimore museum and records offices, his plan to "resume the Valley/Baach searches" (letters to the Ogdensburg church and to Oscar Valley and Lillian, questions about Pop's family in Montreal), and the census years and New York addresses of the Baack, Cummins and Donnecker families. Pages 76, 80 and 82 were photographed out of focus.
