Book Description
Reply to "Brother Wells'" letter of Oct. 11, 1852. Charles writes that Wells' decision to stay in Ohio was a wise one, and that his own trade is doing well. He then mentions that his plan would have been for them to buy a claim and mine it while operating another business. The claim he had considered paying $150 for would now cost $350-400, and now pays $5-10 per day, although recent rains have kept miners from working. He also writes that he will stay in Calif. and give it a fair chance, debates whether to send for his family, and writes of Sandusky as a town in which he would be content. In addition, Charles discusses other profitable mining activities in the area, family matters, and the price of goods.
