Item 84 of Series Calvin Shedd, Letter
|
| Description: |
Shedd writes home that he is glad the family is taking in boarders to help with support. Things are brighter where he is, but he feels that soon there will not be enough work to support him. He talks of moving on to Missouri or Kansas. He contemplates looking for a good place to settle down and live instead of constantly searching for the best wages. He closes the letter with some comments about affairs at home.
