This Charles Cist letter shows an affectionate love between Charles and Mary Weiss. It also gives names of individuals to study further. Also, Jacob Cist was in Nazareth, PA. This is another historical research avenue to pursue.
I welcome other historians to view this letter to assist in decoding other poorly read words due to difficult hand writing from Charles. Furthermore, what are the drawings in this tin box that he discusses in the letter. It is probably in St. Petersburg, Russia.
