Manuscript DS, signed “F. B. Harte,” one page, 8 x 4.75, October 17, 1868. Receipt for “one book case” at a cost of $34.72, for the superintendent’s office of the San Francisco Mint. Signed at the conclusion by Harte using the initials of his given name, as well as the superintendent, Robert B. Swain. In fine condition, with partial separation to a central horizontal fold, and expected document wear. This document dates to just after the release of Harte’s story ‘The Luck of Roaring Camp,’ which was published in the August 1868 issue of the Overland Monthly and propelled him to international fame.
