In this letter of February 16, 1949 Barbara Bird writes to her brothers Leonard Kephart (1892-1988) and George Kephart to send them a letter their mother received from Macmillan regarding copyright. Barbara mentions that all of Laura’s business papers, letters, contracts, accounts and records were destroyed in the fire and shares with them what little information Laura was able to get from the Copyright Office in Washington after the fire. The letter from Macmillan is asking Laura to agree to a reduced royalty so they can afford to reprint Our Southern Highlanders. Barbara asks for Leonard’s and George’s opinion on the matter and asks that they do not tell Laura she has sent them this letter.
