Westfield, Ill. Oct. 3rd 1888, Dear Horace & Laura, Your letter of 1st inst is just (2 P.M.) received and read. The baby’s photos will arrive tomorrow I suppose. Our annual conference was in session here last week. We had Bishop Dickson for our queen, and had a very pleasant time. Among the at- tendants was Rev. Penser--a full cousin of your grandfather (my fath- er) Kephart, for he is the son of Cath- erine Kephart Penser--a sister of my grandfather Kephart. He was born and partly raised near Osce- ola Mills, Pa. and then his parents moved to Ohio. He was at our home --took tea with us, and he told me that he had written and sent to your uncle E.B.(two weeks ago)

In this letter of October 3 and 4, 1888, I. L. Kephart writes his son Horace Kephart covering topics of domestic life such as complementing Horace's wife Laura and their newborn Cornelia, updating Horace on his sister’s schooling, what has happened in their community recently and a small mention of what chores Horace’s mother is performing at that time of year. Among general updates of domestic life, Isaiah Kephart also writes out a genealogy of Horace’s mother’s paternal family that immigrated from Switzerland and Germany and discusses his honorable discharge from the Union Army after the American Civil War.
