out of them. My Partner is a man of Sterling integrity
& good business habits & can comand any amt [amount] of
consignments & as we get them from first hands,
we will be able to Supply the merchants of
Marysville as cheap as they can buy them
below. I think it is a reasonable calculation
to buy our subs at from $5 to $10,000 per week
after the first month my business has brought
me in contact with all the merchants in
Mville [Marysville] & there is no disguising the fact that
I am very popular among them. The D^r [Doctor] (he does
not practice) is almost equally well known &
liked he owns a valuable Ranch about 1 1/2 miles
from town on which he lives. My share of
the lot will cost me $1000. I buy out his former
partner the lot that cost them $300 six months ago
is now worth $2000 in two years it will be worth
ten thousand. Lots of the half the sise [size] one hundred
yards off no better situated are worth 4000 cash
by the end of the next 3 months at least $500,000.
Will have been expended in fire proof Brick
Buildings which when finished with the
lots will be worth one million of dollars!!!
Three years & a half ago this town contained one
adobe house. The Buildings now going up are
strictly fire proof & would be a credit to any
part of Phila [Phildelphia] or New York. The Bricks are the
Best I ever saw. Our merchants have established
themselves on such a firm Basis that
in San Francisco this place is considered the
first of the Interim towns. She is not quite
So large but her credit is much better
than Sacremento Sacramento in spite of the enterprise
of the latter floods & fire have nearly wrought
her ruin another fire will nearly wipe her
