MICHIGAN: CARROLLTON 1882 COVER AND EXCELLENT LETTER TO SAND LAKE MICHIGAN. Nice early oval postmark on this cover from a small Michigan township to a desirable destination. Long four-page letter is from Wesley Kilborn to Charles Reston telling him that he has applied for and won the position of principal of Carrolton High School and is excited that the job pays $15 a month more than he was previously making. The only problem, he states, is that: "is it a very rough school as this place is nearly all French Canadians and Irish. In fact, there is more French spoken than English. This place is then you see what I call a devilish hard hole and the scholars and their teachers have regular fights in the school room." Much more to read and enjoy. |
