A letter from Frederick P. Kehrer, a recent émigré to the newly established Washington State, written on Spokane Falls pictorial lettersheets. Kehrer wrote to his friend about how he was looking for work. He also relayed the news of the death of his brother-in-law, and described how he had befriended a man named "Dr. Warden." The pictorial lettersheets depict a bird's-eye view of the town, "Spokane Falls," and the like-named large waterfall on Spokane River. The town Spokane Falls would be reincorporated as "Spokane" one year after this letter, in 1891, shortly after the disastrous fire of August 4, 1889.
