This information was provided by the seller and has not been verified: "Many of the letters are written by friends and family back home in Woodstock and some are from Pennsylvania. Some are two pages in length and some up to 15 pages in length. I’ve taken quotes from several of the letters to give you a better idea of their contents. The first and only one is addressed to “Jack” Moore but the rest are John. “Mr. Jack Moore Edna Post Office Washington Territory, U.S. Foster Lumber Co. April, 24th, 1906, 101 Grayling Ave. Narberth, PA: "My Dear Old Friend Jack, Well, who’d have thought that you could have left dear old Phila and your old friends. My how we miss your jolly self. How is Washington treating you? I am sure you will be royally treated and appreciated in that business section. You made a wise move and I’m sure you’ll make a grand success with strange people…..You know we have moved in the corner house on our street just two doors above. Remember where the sheriffs sale was? The madam outfitted the house so beautifully at the expense of the poor Narberth men of business then she was chased out of town…..Sincerely your old friend, Cora.” Second letter: Edward B. Smith & Co. Bankers. 511 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Mr. John Moore Adna, Lewis County Washington State May 12th, 1906: "Dear old man, I should have written to you before this but I did not know where a letter would find you……..things here are about as you left them, same old tune, sixpence. We had quite a time on Tuesday evening at Spring Garden St. I gave them “The Village Skewl of Long Ago” by the choir and we packed the place to the doors, woke them up, they dug up camp chairs that had the accumulation of fifteen or twenty years of dust on them, besides I rented 100 chairs………Trusting that you are prospering and having a good time, believe me, very sincerely yours, Charles S. Myrose.” He goes on to mention Mrs. Smart being buried, and talks of Dr. Perkins, J. D. Fox, Mrs. Wilt, Kirkpatrick’s, his mill burning down and more. “Mr. J. W. Moore, Adna Mill Co. Adna Wash. July 5th, 1906, Tacoma Washington Dear Mr. Moore, Your letter received a few days ago……..Sunday July 8th I am invited to a picnic so I will be away that day. You had better defer your trip until the Sunday following and then let me know what day you will be here. We have been having a few strenuous days here during the carnival. Some of the people carried their pranks a little too far to suit me but I suppose we must expect that in the wild and wooly west…..Very sincerely, Harriet H. Bacon.” Following letter includes a photograph: Mr. John W. Moore Adna, Lewis Co. Washington July 23rd, 1906: "Dear Friend, The clock just strikes eight and all is well, that is Robert is in bed asleep. George and Clare in the hall enjoying a little breeze that a rain has scared up this evening…..Our folks at home wrote you a dear letter to Seattle, did you ever receive it? You said you answered one but we got them to write you again just to keep you from pining away from loneliness while you are becoming one of our famous western millionaires……Good night with kind regards from all. Emma Mc Clarin.” Mr. J. W. Moore Adna, Lewis County Washington July 20th, 1906 Woodstock, Virginia: "Dear Jack, “Honest” I’ve thought of you everyday since your letter came but have been so worn to a frazzle tying to cook, etc. etc. and attempting to amuse a house full of company that the kind of letter I have felt able to write was not worth sending…..Just at present, the Shoemakers are in an unspeakably blissful state owing to the fact that they on Tuesday acquired a cook, a lady of color, and good quality…….Last night Dorothy gave what she called a “lawn foot.” She had the place decorated beautifully!! with Japanese lanterns hung between the trees. She had ice cold lemonade stirred with a spade in the shade (it was pitch dark in the shadow of that old apple tree on the lawn) by an old maid, that’s “me”. Dorothy also conceived a very original idea last evening. It took in the form of a planned “grub hut”. She made four booths and scattered them about in corners. She then doled out tickets of admission to the booths while reading something like this, “room for one more at the Lone Star” or “Go to Delmonico’s” etc. Now Delmonico’s was at the other end of the orchard and many were the rails of despair that greeted our listening ears as the “singing owls” returned from their fruitless guest for grub. “The Lone Star” furnished ice cream and there was a booth for candy and one for cake too, so it kept the crowd fairly busy……All join in best wishes and kindest regards while I am always sincerely, Helen Lea Shoemaker.” Mr. John W. Moore, Adna Lewis County, Washington September 22, 1908 Woodstock Virginia: "Dear Jack, Was awfully glad you reached home safely…….Dorothy and I went to the skating rink last night to see Professor Davidson, the “Champion Roller Skater of the World.” He is perfectly wonderful, so wonderful in fact that I’ve about decided to quit as my sort of skating is entirely too slow and tame…….Sincerely Helen Shoemaker.”
