Mrs. Vermeulen,
Enclosed is the final copy of your Mayflower papers. Please check it over for correctness; make suggestions on a separate sheet of paper (not on the paper).
Sign in Black Ink.
If you have received the death certificate for your Grandmother Gladys Eddy-please send when you return the signed paper to the Oakland Office.
Also, a copy of your husband’s birth certificate would be appreciated.
It will be sent to Plymouth for the General Historian’s approval.
Thank you,

I’m the 11th generation from a fellow named William White. From Mayflowerhistory.com:
William and his wife Susanna came on the Mayflower in 1620 with son Resolved; Susanna gave birth to son Peregrine while the Mayflower was still anchored off the top of Cape Cod waiting for the Pilgrims to discover a place to build their colony. William died the first winter, on the same day as three other passengers, including William Mullins. His wife Susanna remarried to Edward Winslow a few months later, being the first marriage to occur at Plymouth.
Resolved is my ancestor. I’m liking that name.
re⋅solve
verb, -solved, -solv⋅ing, noun–verb (used with object)
1. to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.
Oh, and I’m running at 7. Maybe it’s my 10th Great Grandfather’s influence. Resolved.
