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-Qu?bec region of Quebec, Canada. This may have been Ildephonse's location when writing this letter.
