Hi,  :"I was hoping to find relations to Flossie Bright,
Daughter of Leonora Lucenda Lott Greenaway Higman and William John Higman. I bought sheet music belonging to Flossie's mother in 1881,

With the mother's name written in what is presumably the mother's handwriting on the handmade cover.

I thought it would be nice to give this back to the family if I could locate relatives.

I know I would appreciate receiving a personal possession from my distant relatives. However, it appears that Flossie had no children. I don't know your connection to the family but am wondering if you know of anyone for whom this old item might have meaning?" Thank you, Barbara ________Phoenix, Arizona
