| 153 |  | Letter From Ildephonse Charest to Emelie Frechette This image is a photograph of a handwritten letter in French from Ildephonse (Alphonse) Charest to his future wife Emelie Frechette. This letter date only includes a month and day, but as they were married 4 Oct 1916 the year of this letter is probably 1916. A line in this letter appears to indicate they were setting their wedding date. Note 1: The closing line of - St-Remi [de] Tingwick - Probably refers to Saint-Remi-de-Tingwick, which is a municipality located in the Centre-du-Qubec region of Quebec, Canada. This may have been Ildephonse's location when writing this letter.

| 155 |  | Letter of Referral for Alphonse (Ildephonse) Charest This document appears to be a hand written reference letter from a company called "J.W. Bishop & Co." dated December 20, 1920. Context: The note indicates that this person worked for the company for 14 months and finished a job, being described as a "first class" worker. The use of "Alphonse" is an angelized version of the French name "Ildephonse," and indicates he may have been working in Rhode Island during this time. Alternatively, he may have been working outside Quebec, in the English-speaking part of Canada. --------------- Transcription --------------- Dec 20 [19]20 J.W. Bishop Co To whom it may concern. I will state Mr Alphonse Charest been in our service for 14 months for head cook and we finished a job here. We find him a first class cook and honest(?). J.W. Bishop Co Charlie Clark (?) | |
| 156 |  | Letter of Referral for Alphonse (Ildephonse) Charest This is the first typewritten letter found in the collection of papers for Ildephonse Charest. The use of "Alphonse" is an anglicized spelling of "Ildephonse." Given this letter is from "Hotel Canada," the anglicized name suggests Ildephonse was working in a hotel outside Quebec, in the English-speaking region of Canada. Alternatively, "Hotel Canada" may have been part of a resort complex in upstate New York. --------------- Transcription --------------- August 20th, 1919. We hereby certify that Mr. Alphonse Charest has been in our service for a period of one year and has proven to be a first class cook with all the qualities expected as such.

| 158 |  | Letter to Ildephonse Charest from Edouard E. Delaney Presumably this letter was written to Ildephonse, although it is addressed to "Mon cher Compre" (My dear friend/compatriot) and dated June 16, 1922. Written in French, it seems to be an administrative letter asking to transfer Ildephonse club affiliation from Pawtucket to Woonsocket, Rhode Island. No other context provided. This letter indicates by 1922 Ildephonse was well-established in Rhode Island, and for some period of time was living in Pawtucket before moving to Woonsocket. ----------------------- Google AI Translation ----------------------- Dear friend, Received your letter of June 7th, and in response, I want to know if you want to transfer your club from Pawtucket to the Woonsocket club, or rather just transfer your insurance, so that I can send you the necessary forms for the change. Change of beneficiary, change of club, or change of address are 3 very different things, and very important, that you cannot do without the requested forms, which I will send you as soon as I know what you want to do. Tell me, your devoted friend, Edouard E. Delaney, 227 Garden St, Pawtucket, RI. | |
