Fisk, Royal.

Fisk (whose relatives variously use the last name Fiske), appears to have moved west to San Francisco from the Philadelphia area (Old Town, Lowell, Peterboro, and Harrisville are most often on the letterheads). Most correspondence is from his family, 1852-1865. He probably becomes involved with a legal firm; the third folder contains a lengthy letter, 1859, from an Alfred C. [Loud?] with evidence for a trial.
