California, District Court (12th District)

Contains handwritten business correspondence (3 letters, 5 p.) from a California banking firm to James Robb and his newly formed banking firm in New York City and related documents. Tallant & Wilde request assurances that Robb's firm is insured and capable of managing their business effectively and safely which includes shipping them gold bars for eventual sale in Europe. One letter to Robb is incomplete (Dec. 19, 1856 ; 4 p.). The last letter (Nov. 18, 1859), addressed to Robb himself, refers to the disposition of his assets in California ("... you have abandoned the idea of coming to California and would be glad to know what has been done in the way of liquidating the affairs of our old concern") and enclose a copy of a statement they sent him on Nov. 30, 1858 [included in collection] to compare it with a current statement [not included in collection]. Also includes a handwritten balance sheet for Tallant & Wilde (Jan. 31, 1857), and a 12th District Court (San Francisco, Calif.) Copy Summons and Certified Copy Complaint document (Jan. 29, 1863) for a law suit brought by Drury J. Tallant against James Robb and the heirs of John W. Wilde over the disposition of assets that had been owned by Tallant & Wilde.
