8) "Papa ..." - Hartwell D. Vick, b. 1830-1832, Nash County, North Carolina to Martha Caroline [Walker] and William [Captain Billy] Vick.
9) "Papa's family ... the baby ... been sick a long time ... looks almost like a skeleton ... over twelve months old ..." - This must be Sammy Vick, born 1870 in Burleson [now Lee] County, Texas, and apparently died very young.

14) "I have not quilted my Irish Chain yet" - This effectively answers the question I raised in my notes on Vick Letter #25, Note 19) - guess it confirms the old saying that 'All things come to him who waits', or however it goes!
