Letter from Hinton R. Helper to Harper & Row, Publishers, 1854.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85180646

The letter is an inquiry as to whether Harper and Brothers (now Harper & Row) would be interested in publishing Helper's manuscript on California, then titled "Nojoque; or Eureka Rambles and Southern Rights." In the letter, Helper proposes terms for publication and explains that his manuscript is intended to disabuse readers of any idealistic and romantic impressions they might have of California. The book was eventually published privately for Helper in Baltimore under the title "The Land of Gold: Reality Versus Fiction."
