Abstract:
Letter embossed with the logo of Sutton & Co. of 84 Wall Street, New York, agents for a dispatch line for San Francisco. The
handwriting on the letter, dated June 16, 1855, is such that it is difficult to tell who it is written to or who wrote it,
but it seems to deal with the price of shipping or possibly the cost of a new vessel.
