Caption

Text from negative sleeve: 1823. Los Angeles, California. [Handwritten:] 1900. 240 South Griffin Ave. 1. H. H. West's room. A close up of the dresser. See 1821-1822. The lynching photograph shows up good. There are 5 photos just below it of Fort Thomas that I took when down there to visit Daisy Kellum. The doll "Beth" is standing up. Tucked into the frame of the mirror of the dresser are three photographs. Top one is H. H. Cooper; next below is Fanny Nichols and next below is Louise Ambrose. Behind the brush and comb is Mertie Whitake and next at right is Ruby Thompson. 2. Exactly the same, from the same point. Evidently wanted to be sure to get a good exposure. 2 films.
