Neil Ross, of Kingston, Rhode Island, is trying to discover some local historical information and is seeking readers' help.

He recently acquired a postal envelope. It is dated 1897 and addressed to “H.T.R. Kraus, Box #9, Chaska, Minn.”

It was postmarked Cowesett, Rhode Island, June 14, 1897. “The envelope looks to be from a commercial business of a D. J. Lambert, Apponaug, R.I. It shows a rooster head and slogan ‘Death to Lice.’”
