Wellston (Oklahoma)

Mr. D.D. Jennings
El Reno, Okla
Dear Son:
I am enclosing you a cliping of a news paper about the Jennings estate of
Inglan also a letter written me by Uncle Charlie Jennings from Columbia Va in
1889. I once proved up my heirship to this estate when I was 18 years old but I
supose the record is lost by now. I think some one aught to look after this and
I think you are the one to do it. England is now willing to pay this off. And
of corse every Jennings in the U. States will claim heirship to it, but all
wont get it. My grandfather was named John D. Jennings and the letter of Uncle
Charlie enclosed speaks of my cousin James A. Shepard of Columbia Va. Shepard
was P.O. Master at the time he wrote me. And if Mr. Shepard is aliving he would
be a good one to write to tell him you are my son. Shepard once corresponded
with me while I lived at McAlester and if he is living he rememberes me if he
is dead some of them in Va know of me and my family for Uncle Charlie to them
when he went fro Dallas in 1889. Dana do not loose Uncle Charlies letter
because it will be proff of our heirship. I am mailing it to you so you can get
Sheperd address and give you some kind of idea. I am shure you children will
get my part I am not sure I will be living for it will take some time to get
our and the right heirs proved up. My father all ways said he never would live
to get his but he thought his children would. And I think the same way, though
you cant tell. The one of our family should look after this. Return uncle
letter to me and let me know if it suits you to look after this if you dont
want attend to it let me know.
Much love to all,
Your Dad C.C. Jennings
