Can anybody identify this family?

Is this Sally PURDY (sister of Sarah)?

Written on the back of this picture are the simple words:

We now believe this letter to Joseph MITCHELL in N.E. England from Turtle Creek, Pa, on Nov 16th 1928, was written by Margaret Morrow (nee Purdy) - the letter was unsigned.

A branch of the PURDY family emigrated from County Durham, England, to Pa in 1892.

We would dearly love to trace any living descendents of this family or to get any information about them.

These pages contain copies of letters and photographs sent to relatives in England between 1923 and 1930.

There are PURDY family connections with Greencroft, Durham (Joseph Mitchell's parents - Joseph MITCHELL and Mary PURDY).

The text of the letter reads (spelling as original!):

Dearest Aunt, Uncle and Cousins

Your very welcome letter recieved yesterday, and I can not express in words how pleased I was to get it.  Daddy recieved his also, and was delighted to hear from you.  All though I hardly think he will be able to answer it, as his hand is to nervous to write.  So I guess my letter will have to do for both of us.

I feel awfully sorry to hear that Uncle Joe's feelings were hurt about me not mentioning his name in my letter, But if I neglected him, I did not do so intentionally, and if he will forgive me this time I will not let it occur again.  Dear Aunt Sis, thank you ever so much for Bella's pictures, I certainly do appreciate them, and would like one of you, and Uncle also.  I was surprised to note that you had such a large family.  I did not know I was blessed with so many cousins, I surely would be pleased to meet all of them, and I do hope I will have that pleasure some day.  Wayne says to tell you he remembers the walk he had with you, and his one great desire is to return to England for an other visit.  I am awfully sorry to know that all of your folks are out of work, and do hope they will get something to do be fore long.  John Purdy is out of work now too.

Conditions in this country are terrible.  All though they do not effect me, because all of mine are working.

My husband is an engineer on the Pennsylvania R.R. he has been running an engine for 20 yrs.  And Dad works in the Westinghouse Electric works.  He has a nice easy position and earns enough to keek keep himself nicely.  My brother Bill work in the East Pgh. Post Office, has been since long before the war.  Wayne is also working now, I don't know wether I mentioned it in my last letter or not.  I have a girl nearly 16 yrs.

The letter ends suddenly here - was there another page?  Probably, as she didn't sign it!!!

Margaret Purdy was the daughter of Samuel G. Purdy.  Born in County Durham, England in 1892 she emigrated as a baby to Pennsylvania where she later married Thomas G Morrow, 14 years her senior.  This may have been her second marriage, as she had a son, Wayne O'Sheill, born in Pa. about 1911, and a daughter Phoebe about 1913..
