One among scores of gold-seeking ‘forty-niners,’ Huntington eventually became a member of the ‘Big Four’ who organized the Central Pacific Railroad in 1861. Very scarce LS signed “C. P. Huntington,” one page, 8 x 10.25, Office of the President of the Chesapeake, Ohio, & Southwestern R. R. Co. letterhead, July 19, 1883. Letter to former Confederate General John Echols. In part: “I am very sorry you are compelled to leave Louisville for a time; but whatever is necessary to be done in the way of improving your health should be done without any regard to other business.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered toning and wrinkling, and light show-through from docketing on reverse. Huntington is almost impossible to find in letters.
