Here are the 9 letters written by Stephen Meader to Jim Vanderbeck. Copies of these letters were provided to me by Grant and Arlene Makie who own Northland Outfitters in Nakina. Grant said he had been working for the town of Nakina years before. The town was deciding if they could salvage the Vanderbeck homestead. They were cleaning out the house and hauling things to the dump and he pulled these letters out of the gargage that was headed for the dump. It makes you wonder what else may have ended up at the dump. I want to personly thank Grant and Arlene for sharing this amazing find with us. Please feel free to comment on these letters.
