Handwritten Letter

1926

This letter is written by Beu. She begins by saying that she just wanted to send a letter to let Jewell know that "we are all safe". She transitions to explaining that she is sure that Jewell has heard about the hurricane that recently hit them in Miami the day before (September 18, 1926). Although she and the family are safe, she goes into detail about the damage the "terrible hurricane" cause. She says that everything, from the church to everyone's roof was completely wrecked. Additionally, all of their furniture is ruined due to a leak they had. Luckily however, their roof is still intact although one of their windows broke due to the wind. No lights or water is available in the house and therefore it is impossible to send a telegram because she cannot get a wire through. Beu wrote the letter in Dr. Anderson's house because the house if fine despite a couple of minor leaks here and there. She claims that the storm went on for three entire hours without a pause. Beu concludes the letter by saying that they haven't heard about the damage done at the beach and may tag along with the Anderson's to see what happened.
