DesJardin, J.A. Mn/Ca
I have a letter that I found among my grandfathers papers. It was written to him from a J.A.DesJardin. He says he enlisted in the Navy and is now in SanFrancisco.
J.A. was a friend of my grandfathers when theywere at the Minn. State Training School
(orphans and problems) in Red Wing, MN.in Goodhue county. My grandfather was raised in a French Community in St. Paul, MN. The letter doesn't say where J.A. was originally from.
The letter was written when the fellas were about eighteen in 1904
