One of the ways that we were able to get at those documents or, or that, that closeness with the family is because, you know, Chris talked about earlier how there were, there's a big cache of letters at the Sterling Library at Yale.
Sharon Williams LeahyGUEST
There's also some letters at Swem Library at, in, uh, Williamsburg, but we found the, uh, la- letters at East Hampton Library, and I'll tell you a funny story about that, Jane.
Sharon Williams LeahyGUEST
I was ju- I was just looking for maybe some neighbors that might have been talking about them in 1840, and I called up, um, the, uh, archivist at the East Hampton Library and I'm talking to her saying, "Hey, I'm trying to find some letters that maybe the neighbors might have written about Julia," and I could tell she was just, just slightly impatient with me and she finally just said, "Well, well, why don't you just look at the Gardiner family papers that we have?" And I said, "Wait, what?" And she says, "Yes, we have, uh, um, hundreds of family, Gardiner family papers.
Sharon Williams LeahyGUEST
We got them in 2006, and I was the one that actually processed them." And she goes, "I thought that they were, uh, I, I tried to have them listed on the National First Ladies website as an archive for Julia Gardiner Tyler." I said, "I can promise you right now it is not listed there, and this is the first time I'm hearing that you have such letters." She said, "Oh, well, we've got hundreds." I said, "Well, we'll definitely want to come and visit them." So Chris and I, March 2020, we d- we drive to East Hampton.
