The letter reads in part, "We are to have a vounteer muster at the S.….. On the 15th inst. I hope to see you present on the occasion…." (Signed) Wm. Tripp, with the following interesting Post Script: "Every man must arm himself with his own liquor, as the muster is at a remote place where none can be had or openly drank." Datelined Wilton. This date and location would coincide with the California Indian Wars of 1851, and possibly refers to the Mariposa wars against the Miwoc Indians. Light blue paper, 8 x 10." - HKA#65983
