This September 2, 1888 letter from I. L. Kephart to his son Horace Kephart lays out the Kephart family tree in what is a rudimentary genealogy of the paternal side of Horace’s family, seemingly at Horace’s request.

Afterwards, he writes a few brief paragraphs on how Horace’s family in Massachusetts is doing, and discusses briefly the upcoming election, before signing off.
