Handwritten letter
Description
This letter begins with Beu describing that she went through great difficulty to attain "some papers" for Jewell. She claims that there is a lot of "good reading" in them so she hopes she enjoys them because she would "hate for any of it to go to waste".
Beu then moves into a description of the storm. She tells her the on warning of the storm came on Friday, September 17, 1926 so she missed any "pre-storm worrying" since it the warning was right before the storm. She says that the wind came at around ten pm but then at 2 am, it began to rain so hard that it started to leak into the house. The lights were all off and then something from outside hit the window and fell on her bed which caused all the glass from the window to fall into her bedroom. Some of the glass hit Margaret's leg but she was not hurt. They both ran out of the room and Beu called "mama" and after putting a night gown on they all ran downstairs into the living room because it was dry down there. The storm ended at about 9 am but then started again. The second storm which caused some of the roofing to fall off.
The final parts of the letter are hidden by what looks like lead.
