'Dear Jackie, et. al.
This is a blow-up of the picture from the locket I told you about. It is of Francis Wyeth, William Maxwell Wyeth's father and the husband of Susan Huston Maxwell Wyeth. You have her portrait, the woman with the bun and the large lace collar. The method used for the original image predates the basic early photograph and was only really used from 1840-1850. So it pretty well dates the image to between 1842 and 1846 when he remarried. She had died 12/14/1841 and her image is from the portrait.
Hope you can round out the family ties and re-unite Francis and Susan!! Signed Pam (Connolly).
