Personal belongings

In this letter of January 10, 1940, Laura Kephart and Lucy Fernow write Leonard Kephart (1892-1988) about a fire that destroyed the house Laura was living in. Laura writes that she was able to save a trunk of shawls and the Palmers (who ran the boarding house) were able to save a box of papers and a chair. Everything else was lost. Lucy writes that their mom is alright, but feeling loss and shock. She lets Leonard know that their mom will likely accept the invitation to stay with Cornelia in Lansing for some weeks.
