Description
Painting of Kepler Lodge, by Mary Susan Herr Weirsham,
Written in pen on back: "At my death, this is to go to my cousin, Susan Raub. (Ditty's daughter) Signed June 4, 1993 by Elizabeth Caruthers.
Typewritten and attached to back:
Artist: Mary Susan Herr Weirsham painted this picture in the 1950's & made her living selling her paintings. The artist who was six feet tall and hated it, crouched to seem less tall & gave this painting to her cousin Betty (Elizabeth Gerhardt Gipe Caruthers) as both loved their summer Girl's camp, Kepler Lodge, located 4 mi from Pequea, Pa. on Rt. 324 which was built in the 1700's (period of Hans Herr House) as the Master's mansion of an iron foundry.
Mary Sue paints herself on the left and Betty, with red hair, on the right. The girls, whose mothers were first cousins, joyously attended this camp from about age 9-16. Mary Sue, who went to Europe as a child as her parents did well, had great stories to tell Betty like pouring water on passengers as they went down the aisle of a train.
One year at camp, Betty came running down the hill, leaping over the clasped outstretched arms of two standing friends who were at the pool's edge. This time Betty hit the sloped side of the cement pool & broke her nose. While a hospital in Lancaster put one stitch in the nose, she hope her mother wouldn't find out.
Another later year, working as a "kitchen police" ( which "consisted of washing dishes & doing all the thing you do in the kitchen for 60-80 girls") on late eveing (sic) when "we weren't too tired, we went "skinny dipping" in the same infamous pool. Someone noticed the nearby farmer and all his sons sitting on their porch watching us in the bright moonlight." We all fled and were thoroughly embarrassed. The put a crimp in our skinny dipping."
Betty Gipe Caruthers was born 11/17/(19)14. Betty was a couple of years older than Mary Sue, although Mary Sue was 'bigger."--These notes taken down by a friend in June 1993. Although the families of the two girls were at odds, the two girls were fast friends.

Title
Final draft of Thomas Welsh's South Mountain Battle Report
Description
Handwritten report in a copyist's hand of Welsh's South Mountain Battle Battle Report. Report details the activities of Welsh's 2nd Brigade (Willcox's 1st Division) during the battle of South Mountain. Command consists of Regiments 45th and 100th Pennsylvania, 46th New York, and 8th Michigan. Notes that 45th Pennsylvania "used the bayonet with success" and that the 45th Pennsylvania and 17th Michigan "sustained the brunt of the battle." Note: Except for a few words here and there, this does not appear to be Thomas Welsh’s handwriting; it was probably dictated.
Admin/Biographical History
Thomas Welsh (1824-1863) was a Lancaster County native (born and raised in Columbia), who rose from hardscrabble origins to local fame, first as a Mexican War hero, and then as a brigadier general during the Civil War. He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men. See MG0828 for more biographical information.

Condition Notes
Good; some discoloration and wear along one fold. The two pieces of paper that make up this document were originally a single folio sheet halved. At some point in time, they were torn apart along the center fold. This tear is not from age or wear, and appears to have been done at the time of writing; perhaps before he began, in order to conserve paper if his report didn't extend onto a third or fourth page.
