I am also the author of this question, but felt that some additional details would be helpful. All of this can be removed when and if this question is ever answered.
Please don't give the answer "It was his wife's father/his father in law.
I'm aware that the name of his wife's father was Frederick Ayer, but he died in 1918, long before these letters were written, so it obviously wasn't him who the letters were written to.
I can't seem to find any information about this
Only that the letters were written to a Frederick Ayers.
Any information will be appreciated
Thanks
Steve
In the Patton Papers there is a section that references Beatrice was writing to her brother Frederick Ayer, so it may be Patton's brother-in-law. No mention of a Frederick Ayers so it may be just a misspelling
