     Pleas Pardon my delay doe to wating to see my father who lives in Wane 
County, near Huntington. I visited him a few days ago and find he has not been 
in the best of health the past few months and he is now 70 years old and very 
nervous at Times. I will write for him. He has given me all of the information 
he knows of the family, which follows,

     His father was Charles Reeder Perdue and he believes was born in Franklin 
Co., VA and was killed in the Union Army in 1864, the same year my father was 
born. He was married to Louvenia Ward and their children were named as follows, 
Martha, Mary, William Steven, Charles Henry, and my father George Thomas Perdue 
who is the only one living. Charles Reeder Perdue I am told was a son of Isaiah 
Perdue and had brothers named Medow, William, Luke and possible others.

     My Father remembers that several years ago, a very old man named John 
Perdue came over from Virginia to visit Charles E. Walker at Wane, W.Va. whoes 
mother was then living and a very close relative to this John Perdue.

     I can recall that this Charles E. Walker was a circuit clerk of Wane 
County many years ago and my father tells me he is still living and probly 
knows more about the Virginia and West Virginia Perdues than anyone living, as 
he is said to have a wonderful memory.

     I have just learned in last few days that there is a Dr. R. B. Perdue 
connected with Daves and Elkins College at Elkins, West Virginia.

Very Truly Yours,
Cecil Perdue
