| 44 |  | 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.

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.

| 46 |  | 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.

The use of "Alphonse" is an anglicized spelling of "Ildephonse."

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.

| 49 |  | 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.
