A photo of James Lewis of Sheridan. Letter: Nevada City Oct 25, 1894 'Working every day I am carpentering Now building a busting work for a mine Saw Bert French the other day I see a good many from down there & they are surprised to see me' Bro Jim Lewis. Mama kept a lot of his letters. Uncle Jim went to work on the RR & took rooms in SF, Sac, or Wadsworth, NV which he said was a MEAN town! He made about $80/mo. He wrote to Mama & mentioned a girl named Celia in San Francisco but never married. He bought things for her & Aunt Lou.
