Some Information Received From Brother Ivan Tucker
This appears to be a letter from Clarence Ivan Tucker to his brother Kirtley sent 28 November 1972 from Oakland, California. It discusses some memories that Ivan had while living in Mexico with his parents (Worth Tucker and Florence Abby Pulsipher). It appears that some clarifications (using parenthesis) were added to the document when it was transcribed. There is no indication who transcribed the letter or when.
In the letter, Ivan relates traveling to Colonia Dublin, Chihuahua, Mexico with his parents. This was about 1903/1904 as Kirtley was born 30 Oct 1903 and he was a baby in the story that Ivan recalls. Ivan would have been 3-4 years old at the time. Worth Tucker operated a grist mill at the time and Ivan describes it as well as some stories that he recalls. One story is about his mother Florence and how she beat out men by hitting a target bullseye dead center with Worth's 38 Iver Johnson pistol.
Here is a link to the transcription.
