Title	We have a little village here called "pinchumtight"
Creator	Chandler, N. A. (1818-1880)
Description	Chandler mentions that in Jane’s last letter she wrote that she would come out if he thought it best and wished her to, but then writes, “But still I think you hardly feel like coming.” He mentions that “there is a good many women coming to Cala [California], there is three in this place.” He also writes that “there is a little village here called Pinchumtight (we have some queer names for places).” Chandler then responds to another letter he received from Jane indicating that their parents oppose the idea of Jane coming to Cala [California]. Chandler writes that he will give it up and “be content to keep bachelor hall a while longer.” Chandler writes that he intends to stay as he can “never think of going home to work for a living by the day or job.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Sluicing the main occupation at that time. Curious Place-names." Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
