"Dear Joe: On tl.re way dou'n from Eureka last time, rvhile at Lane's Flat, I picked up the enclosed postcard, rn,hich is very interesting and, as far as I have been able to learn, more interestir.rg than true ; ho'n'ever, u,ould aitpreciate your letting me knou' u,hether or not you have ever heard 'the story' u'hich is told by this postcard."

(The rcadinq nxatter at th,e left of the card says: In 1915 a notable En.rllishm.an, who h,ad traaeled i.n America, zuas at a batrquet in London witlx 64 of his coutttrymett.

had spent several years in the sales department with Dolbeer & Carson and, following the purchase, continued the same work with Pacific. From December 1950 until July 1955, he represented TPL in the San Joaquin Valley and Central Coast counties. In July 1955, Hood moved into Pacific's 100 Bush Street San Francisco offices as assistant rvestern sales manager.

Mr. Nolan's retirement terminates a career u'ith Pacific rvhich began 46 years ago. It rvas interrupted in 1916 but, since 1920, he had been continuously rvith the company.

"Dear Harry: The research department has been busy on your log section. Mr. \Varren Stervart, who is our night hostler at the camp, u'as the engineer on the train that moved this section of log to Mad River Slough, rvhere it u'as loaded onto a iighter and moved to Eureka. It rvas then loaded on the old steam schooner, National City, and taken to San Francisco, for reloading on another boat to be sent to England. The man standing in front of the picture is Frank Morrell, a blacksmith for the Var-rce Company who is still living in E,ureka. This section \vas cut from a stump and, after being taken out of the u'oods, r.r'as rvorked over and made smooth on both sides by a crew of rvoodsmen under the direction of Abner Young, woods foreman for the Vances. The section came from the Vance camp near Fieldbrook and not from Carson's, in about the ye:rr of 189+."
