My dear Mrs. Gauss:
I am collecting
material for a life story of Carl Friedrich Gauss, the great German
mathematician. So far as I know, no adequate story of his life
and achievements has ever appeared in English. Therefore I am
asking your aid in helping me to locate [all] his descendants in the
United States: any information you may have will be very valuable to
me. Such material as personal letters, complete family records
of photographs and other interesting data will be necessary for my book.
Thanking you in anticipation,
I am, cordially yours,
G. Waldo Dunnington
Address:
12 Edmondon avenue
