Webb, James Josiah, 1818-1889. Correspondence, 1852-1864.

Title: Correspondence, 1852-1864.

The Webb correspondence consists of ten hand-written letters, written between 1852 and 1864. Seven of the letters were written to Webb at his home in New Haven, Connecticut by business and political acquaintances. Included are two letters to Wells from Samuel Ellison, secretary, translator, and interpreter for Governors William Carr Lane, David Meriwether, and Abraham Rencher, concerning the gubernatorial elections of 1857. There is one letter from Reuben Frank Green, Santa Fe hotel operator, concerning business paperwork. Three letters were written by Webb's ward, Jose M. Hernandez, who was working as a translator on the Fort Defiance Navajo Reservation. The Hernandez letters discuss salary arrangements and are dated to the spring of 1858 when Hernandez might have been only fifteen years old. The most recent letter in the collection was sent by Captain W.R. Shoemaker to Webb in 1864; the contents of this letter are unclear due to the poor condition of the letter itself. The three additional items consist of a blank voucher for work done for the Secretary's Office (1852), a letter from the fourth New Mexico Territorial Governor, Abraham Rencher (1857-1861) to William Medill (1858), Territorial Comptroller, and a letter between Comptroller Medill and a bank in New Haven, Connecticut (1858) concerning payment on a check.
