    Description

    It’s very rare for me to find early gold rush/gold mining material. Great content. Father writing his daughter that he just arrived in Carson City. He talks about joining a mining crew that will start in carson city then gold hill, virginia mine and washoe city. He mentions that he has been to these places before
    He talks about a friend or boss Mr. Bartholomeu is sick with I believe to be a syphilis fever but also be the writers attempt at spelling of erysipelas fever? Also mentions a Captain Gordy who had mountain fever.
    Letter is barely connected but displays well. Thanks!
