  • Letter from Frances Kirsop to Frances Morehead, 30 May 1972: "I think Dad traveled around to find work. I know he wored in Chicago for some time; of course there wa so much work after the big fire. And I know he worked in the South; he said that as an Englishman he was well received, for the English rather favored the South the the Civil War. He came West because the hot Kansas summers were too much for him. . .Dad was a Republican."
