2000.4.2Description
Photo postcard titled, "103 - Ryan, Cal. Looking North" showing the mine and camp community of Ryan in Death Valley. The sender has identified buildings where he eats ("chow"), writes, and sleeps. Under "sleep" is also written 110--maybe the number of beds or employees?
The postcard was sent to Mrs. C. Claussen of San Pedro, CA from Ryan on November 16, 192-. It has a red two cent George Washington stamp. The letter says, "Dear Mim, I needed you and the kids to hold the rear end of the bus down today. Clarence."
Marjorie Cremer, the sister of Clarence Pape, added in pen at the top, "Clarence R. Pape, 1894-1933" and in pen in the lower right "1929."Collection
