I am from Australia and am hoping someone can assist me with a letter we have found in my deceased Mother In Law's family treasures. (I have attached the letter in a pdf format and pasted below). We cannot find any connection to the Hetherington surname or find any relationship to the surname. We feel a relationship must exist for my Mother In Law to have had it in amongst her treasures.
