Letter to D.A. Smally, 1868, March 11.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/772469604

Letter from Jervis Joslin in Denver to his brother-in-law D.A. Smally. Joslin writes that business has been "dull," but that work is about to begin on a railroad connected to the Union Pacific at Cheyenne, Dakota Territory (Wyoming), which might lead to the creation of more jobs. He also writes that Colorado is "producing more gold than ever before" and of the opening of new mines on the Cimarron River in New Mexico. He concludes that his expenses have been reasonable and that he is optimistic about the future, writing "I believe the chances are better for a young man here than in any place I know."
