00700	Dear John Miller,
00800	
00900		It  looks  like  I  am the right John McCarthy.  At least, my
01000	father was from Kerry - a place called Inch, I believe  he  said,  my
01100	mother  was  a  Jew  from  Russia,  and my father's sister, Catherine
01200	Martin, lives in Boston.
01300	
01400		My father,  who  died  in  1963,  had  lost  touch  with  his
01500	relatives  in Ireland, and I have not seen my aunt in Boston for many
01600	years.  I would be grateful for any information  you  and  your  wife
01700	could supply.
01800	
01900		I am also looking forward to meeting you and your wife, and I
02000	will come visit you in Dublin the next time I go to Europe; I have no
02100	present  plan  to  go  to  Europe, but an occasion will surely arise.
02200	Needless to say, if something should bring you to California, I hope
02250	you will visit me.
02300	
02400					Best Regards to you both,
