Job offer from the NY Herald

Dave,

thank you for the advice!
I really think you are right - I had previously hoped I could do with the LoC collection of the newspapers, especially since they have them turned into searchable pdf as well. But if the scan isn't all that good, a lot of words simply are not picked up.
I also used "rations" as well as "salary" and did not get any matches for April 4th...so it appears genealogybank.com is a much better way to go.
Before I get the next headache reading such wall of texts, I shall heed your advice!
