got to San francisco [San Francisco] and it is
thought they must have perished
our open boat put out but
there is no tidings of her or
many more. Sacramento City
is like all the Rest we have Seen
composed principally of tents with
a few wooden houses it is a
complate [complete] place of Speculation.

We left here on Friday 17th of Augt. [August]
Bound for Sutters [Sutter's] Mill we had
to Store a great deal of our baggage
to pay dearly for it, as they Charge
three dollars per Month for a Barre [barrel]
or Trunk, from Sacramento to
Sutters [Sutter's] Mill is 55 or 60 Mils [Miles]
and we had to pay 14 dollars
