Sacramento, California , 1855. Two manuscript letters in ink, both on ruled paper with folding creases, the 1855 letter 8" x 12 1/2", with single spaced writing both sides, approx. 500 words. The 1856 letter 15" x 10", folded in half to make 4 pp., approx. 300 words, with small blindstamp top left corner depicting an eagle. The earlier letter is headed "September 18th 1855 Naperville Dupage County Illinois" and ends "Michael direct your letters Nevada County, Nevada post office, California". George writes to his brother Michael in Naperville that he has "seen a good dele sins i rote you they last letter", including a hundred "inshins" and some "Buffellow". He adds that "we had good luck all they way of may we left Council Bluff", and that he is not home sick yet. He then talks of the gold mines, river mining, what they are paying, and the cost of things such as board ("from five to ten dollars a week"), "Beaf" ("wors 15 to 20 cents"), and "potato" ( "4 cent per pound"). He adds that he intends to have some gold before he comes home and that "girls are not so plenty here as they are in state". He closes by asking his brother to write him and to remain at home in Illinois to care for their parents. The 1856 letter, headed Sacramento august 3th 1856, informs his brother that he is well and "down to Sacramento now" working on a farm feeding a "schrasing" (thrashing) machine and that "they times is verry hard in California now". He adds that he had some money "stole" while he was in the mountains, but since coming down into the valley he was making money and will send some home soon. The letter ends with George wishing to see them all soon and that he is not home sick. The third page of the letter bears a drawing of a wing or leaf, eleven smaller versions of the same image interspersed on page 2. A fascinating testimonial on California during the gold rush, written in a strong hand and in a wonderful vernacular style by a good observer. . HOLOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED. Manuscript. Very Good.

Description:
1731 Letters of Turkish SPY by Marana Ottoman Letters Byzantine Political 6v SET

Most known for his work 'Letters Writ by A Turkish Spy', Giovanni Paolo Marana was a political refugee during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The first volume, however, is the only volume he is known to have written. The subsequent seven volumes are attributed to various authors, even though some experts claim that Marana himself may have written them.

'Letters' is a collection of hundreds of fictional letters by an Ottoman spy named Mahmut, who also happened to be in the court of Louis XIV. The correspondence in this work covers the mid-17th-century in France are a satirical view of the current state of politics and society in Paris – making slights at figures such as Cardinal Richelieu.

Jean Guez de Balzac was a 17th-century French author known for his letters and essays. His letters, which have been his claim to fame, have still been studied by modern writers for their prose style.

This 1634 first English edition of Balzac's 'Letters' was dedicated to Cardinal Richelieu and includes correspondence with Richelieu, Cardinal Valete, de Bois Robert, and many other prominent French nobles, though none more important than those to King Louis XIII.
