"Our One Common Country" author talk in Stratford, CT

[RJNorton]

I decided to contact Jason Emerson to see if he knew anything about Mrs. Florence W. Stanley. Within minutes of writing him Laurie dropped me a note saying she had just written him, too.

Jason kindly replied as follows:

"The name does not ring a bell. I recall off the top of my head only one newspaper article in which it said Robert favored the EP and Mary opposed it....

I just looked through my research files and found the article, by Florence W. Stanley, Needham, MA, to the Christian Science Monitor, Sept 22, 1937, page 2, which states that, according to RTL said his mother opposed it.

The index for the RTL letterpress books has no Florence Stanley listed in there, and I cannot recall the name in any particular relation to RTL. Unfortunately, my thousands of pages of research are not indexed by name, so I cannot search for her.

Sorry, I'm sure that does not help..."
