Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1876-08-17

We have received letter from an
opulent citizen of Salem, Mass. (the
place where they burned witches in the
good old tmes), enclosing ten-cent
postage stamp and request that we
should by return mail sendaf full and COM
plete history of the fire on Lacour street
last May. We were somewhat appalled,
by the magnitude of the amount en-
closed, but as we heard of no failures or
financial embarrassments resulting in
Salem, We took coursgs and went to
work Virtue is its own reward and We
haveprepared an account of the confa-
grafton, SO graphic, SO true to nature and
80 touchingly eloquent in its simplicity
that we hardly know whether to send it
to the opulent and large-hearted Salem
citizen or publish it and sell it by sub
scrption. 1t has been the work of our
spare moments, moments snatched from
hours of weary and unceasing toll; it
will cost IS cents (sosCharley Meyers
says who has "hefted" it) to send it to
Salem town and we are undecided.
