1873 January 27, Connymede, to Sarah Walker

Letter makes a detailed account of some of the last days of William D. Cope, Uncle of Ruthanna Cope. Ruthanna consistently describes Clementine Cope as William Cope's eldest daughter, contrary to the Cope-Emlen-Evans-Stokes family genealogy published in 1982, which describes Clementine as youngest daughter of Henry Cope, and subsequently Ruthanna's younger sister. The revised family genealogy published in 2005 correctly records Clementine as eldest daughter of William D. Cope.
