1862 San Francisco Dr Gray Panama Fever Muir Woods Marin Chinamen Long Hair LetR
Sept 28 1862 San Francisco date lined letter sent to Ohio. Have to go on the Sacramento river in the cars and stage, to get home. I like my new home Mer (muir) Woods… You ought to see some of the Chinamen that come to our store to trade perhaps a hundred and fifty in a day, with their long cues (hair) hanging down almost to their feet.
