ALS, 1852 May 16 : Weaverville, [California], to his family.

Jewett describes at length his hard work as a gold miner. He and four partners had just sunk some shafts. "We shall work more than a month before we can expect anything in return ... If I can get half as much as you can put into a thimble after shoveling all day, I am well proud."

4 p. ; 25 x 20 cm.
