Title	The miners' lamentations
Creator	Chandler, N. A. (1818-1880)
Description	Chandler writes that the rivers are very dry and that the work pays about four dollars per day. The claims are considered very good and when the rains come they “shall be prepared to work to good advantage.” “I mean to take things cool at present if I don’t get rich the first year.” “We have lots of good living in the way of Mellons [sic], Tomatoes… the mellons [sic] are far superior to any I ever saw in our Atlantic Home, in size and flavor. I wish I could send you one mellon [sic] as large as we have here you would have to ask all the neighbors in to eat it.” Chandler writes that he thinks he has made several hundred dollars, but it is in the claim and will be due on what he has sold. On the opposite side of the picture, Chandler writes “…you need not think me a Bachelor nor that this case is mine in particular.” [Referring to the Miners’ Lamentations] Notations in pencil on the third page at the top read: “1855.”
