The following transcription is created from the manuscript of Laura Kephart’s 1946 letter to her son Leonard Kephart (1892-1988). Mrs. Kephart writes her son to discuss her opinions on a Cleveland Orchestra Concert she went to and her desire to visit loved ones in Washington. She also informs him of the dates of upcoming class reunions, and his niece Laura’s graduation. Lastly, she discusses the varied hair and eye color of their family members in opposition to others who have apparently questioned the parentage of Mary Ann’s child.
