Letter (sent "per [the steamer] Crescent City") from Johnson to Leverich regarding the brig Republic and business matters. He writes from Panama, where he has been waiting for a month for the Republic to arrive with goods which are to be sold in San Francisco; after helping Mr. Webster start business there, Johnson will return to Panama. Also, he requests that Leverich send steamer tickets purchased in New York for $120-150 to sell in Panama for $300-350. In addition, Johnson asks Leverich to borrow $5000 against the insurance on the Republic and its cargo in order to start business operations in Panama and provides instructions. Johnson also mentions that he has found the charts needed for the Republic to sail to San Francisco.
