Description: This, with the accompanying note posted next, and with a letter of some background, was sent to Walter Bobbitt, August 8, 1954 from Lucy Bobbitt Holding.   I am not sure which line she is in.   The paper the letter was written on was short, letterhead THE FRANLIN POST, serving Franklin County, Franklinton, NC.   I will copy here if the space will take it, otherwise check NEWS for it.
Mr. W. B. Bobbitt
Radford, Va
Dear Mr. Bobbitt,
    It is my pleasure to send you an authentic copy of the Bobbitt arms.   It dates before the crusades.   There is no motto - another proof of it's antiquity - I, myslef had it verified - It is theone and only authentic copy of the Bobbitt arms.   The ermine is a sign of royal blood.   The bars are for proven loyalty and bravery.   The plumes are for high birth -

    The chains are for union and strength in the clan. It's simplicity is such as are all very ancient arms. (a quote here) " The first record of the Bobbitts is Brittany-France - They drifted into Wales before coming to America in teh early 1600s-   The name in the ancient times was Babattotte.
