Letter from Emory Kirby to Mr. Pennington, 19 November 1876

Description

This is a letter from Emory Kirby to Mr. Pennington, and is a follow up to a discussion that took pace over a year earlier. Emory left that talk with high hopes, as he had bought land, but found his property sold off. Homeless, Emory was forced to rent room in a store and felt humiliated. He managed to buy a new property, and finishes out the letter describing his new land and thanking Pennington for his friendship.
