Title	Hard work the miner's portion
Creator	Chandler, N. A. (1818-1880)
Description	Chandler writes that he likes “the mining business first rate although it is very hard generally.” Chandler also writes to his wife that he feels bad because he hasn’t been able to send Jane and others money, but “we can’t pick up the gold now as easily as they once could.” Chandler writes, “I think there is plenty of gold in Cala [California] to answer my purpose if I could only find it, and that I am trying to do.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Hard work the miner’s portion.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
