Evening Chat

H. T. Jones came into our Office to-
day with o most interesting letter
which was written to his father, Rob.
ert T. Jones some 50 years ago No
vember 10, 1867. This letter has been
preserved among the archives and eff.
fects of the Jones family for many
years and at present is In the keep
| ing Of Newton Jones, a brother OF H.
T. Jones and who resides on farm
ear Monongah.
4 The letter was written by George
W. Chamberlain and Sarah. Chember.
lain, his wife, to Robert T. Jones and
Elizabeth Jones. The Chamberlain
family had recently emigrated to Iowa
and 1t was from there that the letter
was written by Mr.. Chamberlain to
his cousin Robert Jones. It was
brought across the continent by pony
express, stage coach and ancient
steam packets and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad until finally 1t reached
Robert Jones at his home near Monon.
gah on Mill Fall Run.
In the letter Mr.. Chamberlain states
that he and his family are we'll and
inquiries as to the health Of Jones
family and his other relatives in this
country. His son. Isaac, is in school,
according to the letter, and can COW
almost write as we'll as his father.
The letter inquiries concerning John
Holbert and Raymond Chamberlain,
| and other relatives and ends up with
the old remark that there is not
much to write this time but will do
better next time"
One Of the most interesting passa-
ges in the missive has to do with the
prices Of foodstuffs In Iowa at that
time. Mr.. Chamberlain stated that
the crops in his section were good
and that wheat was selling for AS
cents per bushel, corn at 20 to 25 cents
per bushel, potatoes 20 to 25 cents
per bushel, -four $2.25 per barrel, beef
sold for 4 and cents per pound,
while pork was plentiful at cents
per pound.
Such prices seem almost unbelieva.
BILE to the average consumer today.
The letter has been most carefully
preserved by the Jones brothers and
while slightly yellowed by age is still
readable and will likely keep for
fifty more years. The writing is fine
