Letter from Anne Higgins to John J. Herrera regarding William "Bill" F. S. Edwards, whom her daughter Shauna met at a restaurant. Edwards gave Herrera's name as a reference when Higgins and her husband expressed doubts as to his supposed credentials, including a number of prestigious universities attended and degrees awarded. Higgins doubts Edwards's future plans of becoming a cardio-vascular doctor due to his tendency to spend most of his time in restaurants, drinking coffee and smoking. Higgins includes a photograph of Edwards.
