Description
Chandler has been working as a stonecutter. He corrects Jane’s notion that people in Eureka “are all a rough set of people.” He asserts that “this is a much better place to be poor in than New England.” Chandler discourages consulting mediums and feels that “they are the biggest humbugs in existence.” He criticizes his brothers and writes, “you may doubt it, but I do not think of dying a drunkard.” Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Yankees rated below par, mediums likewise.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
