Accession #1965-300.0366. Mining Collection. Copper Crew 1911 Translation: Postal cancellation from Chesaw, Washington April 26, 1913. Translation: To Wilh. Nilles Chewelah, Wash Worthy family! We're all in good health, hope you are too. At first the weather was beautiful during the day, now it's always cloudy. Nights are cold. I've heard that you're working for Albert now. You work half of the summer, then have the winter off. Did you receive the Waisenfreund"

we didn't. We like that. But

one always has to remember Chewelah. That thing with the saloons was (sure) strange. P. and wife send their best greetings. Note: For reference

Der Waisenfreund was a piece of Franciscan inspirational literature which went through almost 50 editions during the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was written by an immigrant priest named Joseph Jessing. It was sold by subscription

in the US as well

with all proceeds going through the Catholic Church to support an orphanage. "
