Abstract
May Bragdon's letter to Trudy about the Orphan Asylum fire, January 10, 1901. “…and then not of sleep-he felt much better the next morning. I’ll send you another paper if I can find one.

It has been a fearful shock to her-and I don’t believe one of us will forget to our dying day. I can hear those poor women shriek now. Well goodbye dear-we’re going to bring Zo and Zen home from the cat show where we had just taken them Monday night before the fire. They are together and have attracted much attention.

They really look terribly cunning cuddled up together on a green velvet cushion. Goodnight dear Mother sends love…”
