The old man who has lived there for the last 27 years came out and stood at the gate while we took some pictures, which I hope will be good, for we want to send you copies as soon as we have them developed. We were then Invited Inside. "We entered a hall which has the original flags on the floor and then Into a large living room which has deep windows, and the casement windows, though originally they were leaded diamond panes.

By the way, the present owner has restored the building and has kept it as nearly as possible like the original. We went Into another fine room, and from there upstairs. And you ought to see the stairs. They are all solid oak. I mean solid all the way through.

The rooms upstairs are mostly all large and fine and so light There are fire places In nearly all the rooms. We looked at the doors, which have the old hinges on them yet, and I tell you they are fine. We then drove back with the bailiff, and his hospitable wife gave us refreshments. "It being too early to catch our train, we went into the old church yard, thinking we might be able to find the name on some of the old tombstones, but we did not. The man in charge spoke to us and told us he had some books bearing on the history of East Gimstead.

He took us over to his house and we found Gulledge was built about 1365. It is Elizibethan in its style, but according to the date it must have been built before that time. This is all I could find out in the time we bad to spare." My father came direct from England in 1831 and finally settled here, in 1835, and lived here until he died, in 1899. Previous to your war of independence (1776) there were three families of the Gulledges living in the south of England. William, my grandfather, lived at Weston, in Som-ers tshire.

Edward lived at Higher another brother (I don't know hU name) lived at Shepton Mallet, in Somerset. These were. brothers. Their parents lived at Tueen Campbell, and were born there. My grandfather was born there also.

My grandfather, Wil Ham, was the youngest of this lot, He had mills at Weston, near Bristol, in Somerset, when he died. His wife, my grandmother, was a Miss rempleman. The Templemans were ship owners and corn merchants at Weymouth. Her brother's son now carries on the business, and was the mayor of the city of Weymouth for four years up to 1906. He would be a first cousin to me.

My grandfath er's family was a boy and girl only a Mrs. Pardy and my father. Both are dead now. The other two families were old people when my father was ten years of age. They had large families and they were married and had moved away from England.

My father oft jn told me years ago that I would find a section of our people in the South somewhere. He knew of you. Now, you are either descendants of some other brothers or of these families who came this way. In 1830 there was Gulledge, son of Edward mentioned above, living in London. He was a carpenter and contractor in the city.

I am glad I have found you and have interested you. My aim is to bring out our name more into the limelight for full examination, for I feel convinced we have not always been hewers of wood and drawers of water, and we are not today. I have only met, outside of our family, Joel Gulledge, first, and then his father, A. Gulledge, both of Verbena, and the doctor this week; but standing side by side with the doctor for comparison we have been taken for brothers, although he is a much larger man than lam. But the same look, facial expressions, step and carriage tell us both that some of the same blood flows in our veins.

I hear all the Gulledges area determined race, with good amount of temper, lovers of right, fearless, and if that is a fact they come by it honestly. If you or any of your family or name come near us, don'tfail tocome and see us. I shall deem it a favor and feel myself indebted to you for it.

We would like to get this In every instance of every family in your neighborhood. I suggested to the doctor that we form a Gulledge Club and ask every man of that name to join us.

I want either yourself or the d.jctor to be president or vice president, with a secretary, with a view to further the prominence of our name and with the hope of all meeting somewhere, probably near you, at a date to be fixed later. 1 should like to have a club of all the ladies affiliated with us or connected with our families. Will you let me have your Ideas on this move some time? 1 will send you at once a photo, of myself only or a photo, of myself and family, whichever you prefer. I presume you want to know what lean tell you about the families, and I regret that I probably fail to give you all iu one letter, but will do the best I can. The oldest I know about us Is an old Elizabethan manor house and estate situated just outside the city limits of East Gimstead, in East Sussex, called "Gulledge." It was built in 1365, and is in excellent condition at the present time.

My niece and her husband, Dr. Dob Gallie, of Chicago, went over the place about two weeks age. She has taken sev eral negatives of it and will send me photos as soon as they are developed. I hope to let you see them. The place is now owned by Edward Blount, L.

grandson of the late Sir Edward. I think they were married into the family. This may not be right, but I am trying to find this out. The following is an extract from a letter received from my niece, who visited "Gulledge" a short time ago: "Well, I must now tell you of our visit to East Gimstead. We paid our visit there on Sunday, August 15th.

Leaving London, we went as far as Ox tend, where we had to change cars for East Gimstead, and we arrived there about 12:30 and found it to be a very quaint old town. We went to a hotel and found a young woman was proprietress, but on questioning ber found that she did not know anything about Gulledge. So we ordered lunch and Mr. Gallie went out to make enquiries. Ue soon came back and said be had been to another inn kept by an old gentleman who said he knew Gulledge.

We hired a rig to take us out and a man to drive. "After lunch we set out. We learned that Gulledge was now the property of a Mr. Blount and was part Of his estate, which is certainly a magnificent one. He inherited the estate from his grandfather, Sir Edward Blount.

The present owner's father lives and has large railway interests there. They are French people. This Mr. BlounJ is married to a French lady. "We drove through the private road and our driver said be would take us to the home of the bailiff of the estate, and we soon were at the gate.

We asked for him and he came out and invited us in. We explained our errand and I told him who I was and he appeared to be very much pleased ti meet me. Mr. hoantvln knives, forks. SDOOnS are not attributes of solid hrtrn nf lonff experience has pro- At its name for beauty second only 3 Life Ins.
