1855 Exquisitely handwritten letter from William Roberts, at Fort Point, California, July 26th, 1855, to his son Willie in S. Scituate, Rhode Island. Beautiful script, totally legible and sanguine in its lonely distance from his beloved son. It begins It is now more than a year since your papa wrote you a letter with a gold dollar int it, and he loves Willie so much he thought that he would now write him another.. 5x7.5 inches, light blue paper. Unforetunately, the gold dollar is no longer attached. Totheroh Collection HKA#63719
