Letty was of "common stature" and took with her 2-3 white muslin dresses, one of fancy chintz, a salmon colored petticoat, white yarn stockings and good shoes, along with other "good quality" clothing. It was suspected Letty was headed to Clark County, Bardstown or Danville. A reward of $20 was offered for her return.
