LETTER FROM ALASKI.
Kentucky volunteer in 1812. My
mother was born in Nashville, Tenn
Her maiden name was Mary Clarke
Jackson. I always have a warm place
in my heart for the Southern people.
My partner’s name is Wm. Nelson,
was born in Norway, came to the U.
S., when 11 years old. Old Sam Patch
told me that Wm. Nelson went part
ner on a prospecting trip to Peace
River in 1867, and he was 17 or 18
years old then. So he is no spring
chicken.
If you don’t get tired reading this
long letter, I will be glad to hear
from you again.
