H. Hedge Mitchell letters, 1877-1880.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/385345857

Letters (13 letters, 42 pages) and related papers (9 items) documenting the professional career, alcoholism, and related troubles of Dr. H. (Henry?) Hedge Mitchell, former United States Army surgeon and Medical Director residing in Mayfield and (eventually) San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. Most of the letters are addressed to his brother-in-law, attorney Horace P. Chandler of Boston, Massachusetts from Mitchell and other various persons. Two are addressed to Mitchell from W.A. McMahon, the San Jose coronor and California state medical director. Some letters are written by John Sanford of the Custom House of San Francisco, California on Mitchell's behalf. One of the Sanford compositions is on official Custom House of San Francisco stationery (dated December 26, 1877). The collection also includes a manuscript prospectus of Sonoma, Chrome, Iron, & Quick-Silver Mine (dated May 10, 1877 and a deed for it dated April 23,1887). Printed ephemera includes two California business cards - one for Dr. Mitchell and one for Dr. J.S. Potts, the author of one of the letters. A temperance pledge by Dr. Mitchell is notarized with an embossed notary seal from Santa Clara County, California. Includes a single unmarked photograph (8.5 x 10 cm) of an unidentified young man (possibly H. Hedge Mitchell).
