Sutter writes of his new command with the military. He relates changes in California--the coming of the telegraph, the growing population. Marysville "is now a very important city, the 3rd in the State, no. 1 San Francisco, no. 2 Sacramento ... The Squatters are close to my fields, all is squatted over ... our Gov't. did not set right with us Californians."
