The back of this photo says this is Jennie Curry. I believe they called her Jean as well. I remember she was one of Ruthie's
favorites of the Curries - a very sweet woman.
While cleaning this one up (it had pen markings and rips all over it - plus very faded), I noticed the photo on the table
near her right hand. It looks to be of a large house - perhaps her home in Bedford. Ruthie used to drive out to Tinker Road
(or one of those roads off of 101) and take us past Aunt Mary's. I'm not sure where Jean Sharp lived. Perhaps Jeanne remembers?

Jeanne suggested that this might actually be the mother of the Curry women - Eugenie Curry. It makes perfect sense as the photo looks older than the one of the girls, and the woman is older as well. Aunt Jennie resembled her, which caused some confusion on my part (and the back of the photo just says "Jennie Curry".
I really think this is of Eugenia MacFarlane Currie and it makes me wonder if the photo is of somewhere in Scotland and the letters are from home? She was bornin Scotland and did not move until later after she was married. She and her husband sent their daughteres to Manchester, NH to work in the mills and they followed after.
