Dear Mr Benton，
Baranda Historic Society has recently repaired a slab hut which we believe was built by your great-grandfather，Mr George Benton in the early 1880s．The hut is on the Old Wattle Road, 10 kilometers from Baranda in central New South Wales．
In August there was an article in the Baranda Times about the repair of the hut．BHS asked if anyone had any information about the first owners of山e hut and about any living relatives．We were flooded with responses．As a result，we have already found several of Mr Georage Benton’s ancestors．
BHS is officially opening the slab hut on Saturday November 28．We would be very honoured if you and your family would attend the opening followed by a barbecue lunch．We have invited many of your relatives as you can see from the list．We would appreciate it if you could let us know of any relative not on the list．I'd like you to tell me if you can come to the opening that day．I also put a copy of the newspaper article and a photo of the hut inside the envelope with the letter． I look forward to hearing from you．
Yours sincerely
Eva Catania
