Erwin Davis was a banker and mining speculator in San Francisco in the 1850s and 1860s. A member of the banking firm Banks & Davis, Davis speculated in both real estate and mining properties in California and Nevada. In 1859, Davis was involved in litigation in Tuolumne County after foreclosing on a mortgage loan to the Columbia and Stanislaus River Water Company and selling one of the company's ditches.

Title: Erwin Davis letterpress copybook and papers, 1859-1867.

The letterpress copybook (300 p.) consists of copies of letters from Erwin Davis to various recipients from 1859 to 1867. The letters document Davis's lawsuit with the Columbia and Stanislaus River Water Company as well as his many mining investments and land development contracts. Several are addressed to "Dorsey" and contain detailed instructions regarding stock transactions and Davis's business interests. There are copies of letters to "Sedgewick" (John Sedgewick, Sheriff of Tuolumne County), and "Friend Fair" (James G. Fair, U.S. Senator). Additional papers include two letters, removed from the volume: ALS to Ch[arle]s L. Law from C. C. Thomas, Virginia, dated 1867 May 9, regarding the Chollar Potosi mine in Nevada; and a manuscript copy of an ALS to "Friend Fair" from [Charles L.] Law, dated 1867 May 8, describing the need to unload the stock of "Giant." Photocopies of biographical information relating to Erwin Davis are also present.
