About these letters

Samuel Andrews saved his letters. Copies of some letters came to my sister Linda Sanders and I through the good graces of Marian Andrews Edward about a dozen years ago and she is currently sending the remaining letters and she and her brother have given me permission to post them online for all Andrews researchers.

Transcriptions and some original images of letters written by Andrews and Carrick family members to one another are in this collection. Somehow they were saved, either by Samuel or just stored at his home, and passed down to us today. The images online are small but if you click on an image it should enlarge to a readable and printable size. Enjoy.


Who are the people in this photograph?


DeLight Birchell Andrews sent the photo and the names a few years ago and said that this reunion was held before 1898 at the home of John G. Andrews, brother of Samuel. John lived in Campbell township, Ionia County, Michigan at that time.

Dear Lloyd,
I will write you a
few lines to tell you I had
a merry Christmas.
I enjoyed your hikery nuts
very well and I thank
you ever so much.
 Well I suppose you want
to know what I got for
Xmas.  Well I got a steam
engine, a sweater, a knife,
a necktie, a Bang Bird
game, Pollyanna game, a hand
kerchief, a belt, a book, a
box of candy, a box of
wild cherry candy.
Well that is all.
Sincerely yours,
Richard Wiles


come down and see us
