Mar. 26 1934 12 M. Dear Leonard Roy was delighted to get the stamp & I was too overjoyed to tell to have even a note. I had about made up my mind that T.P. had cut my acquaintance as Mr. P. seems to have done. Just now the Maischs are in & we are out. Gus’ girl died about two months ago, which left some jewelry etc. to be distributed so - . So far as I know George is & will be working. He was on the elm tree work with the C.W.A. & it seemed probable he would be kept on with the P.W.A. or whatever part of the alphabet came next. His off days he works on his Gash business, in which he still has faith. Truth to tell Gash looks better - more honest - than Roys Tree Co. to which he clings. If something does not come along soon, their courage will give out. Roy lets it out in being too

In this letter of March 26, 1934, Laura Kephart writes her son, Leonard Kephart (1892-1988) to discuss the writing of her will. Laura includes details on where all of her belongings will go and to whom they will go to. Laura lays out her wishes very clearly throughout this letter and in many cases trails off into casually chatting about some of her family members, friends or acquaintances. Laura encloses a letter from Jack E. Coburn who is a close friend of the Kephart family and the executor of the Kephart estate. The Coburn letter can be read in the annotated version of this letter found by clicking on the "Related Materials" link.
