Danell Spillman, Editor of Louisiana African Americans, explains that letters are not only prized family heirlooms but often the only link to information about ancestors. Letters are the raw material – pieces of the puzzle of the African American past. Spillman is collecting copies of letters to publish; include biographical and/or genealogical information about people mentioned in the letter. Send to Louisiana African Americans, University Station, PO Box 16726, Baton Rouge LA 70892.
