This envelope, postmarked March 14, 1894, and addressed to Mrs. J. H. Barchus at her Dekum Building studio, holds two letters from H. C. Lichtenberger the owner of the Art Emporium, Los Angeles. (Letters dated March 13th and March 20th, 1894.) Barchus sold many paintings through the Art Emporium during this period.

In one letter Mr. Lichtenberger acknowledges receiving one of her Yosemite paintings that he plans to frame with new gold molding. He also relays back to her that 335 raffle tickets were sold for a Mt. Hood painting she had donated to an orphanage in the city. The winner was a Mary Burns with a winning ticket number of 379! (This raffle attracted several mentions in the Los Angeles Times.) Also of interest is that he mentions two of her small paintings, one of Mt. Hood and the other of Mt. Shasta, had just been stolen from his shop.
