  Parish B. Johnson letters

  Manuscripts

  Group of three letters written to Parish B. Johnson by his wife, Lydia J. Johnson, and a friend named James A. Waters and sent from Portland, Oregon. Lydia Johnson's letters focus on personal news regarding family and acquaintances. Her 1868 letter notes that the Columbia River has frozen over and ice skating has become a popular pastime, while her 1886 letter mentions a friend's servant, who is "a splendid Chinaman but...he is striking for more wages." The 1868 letter from Waters focuses on his travel schedule, his well-wishes for Johnson's quick recovery from illness, and that he has not had time to visit "six or seven of our Blue Mountain friends in jail here" (possibly referring to the Blue Mountain Eagle, which was published in Grant County beginning in 1868). Each letter also includes an envelope.
