In the Face of Death
“ San Francisco, 18 May, 1855 At last! And only four days later than anticipated when we left the mountains. Had I been willing to travel on the river from Sacramento, we would have arrived on the date anticipated. . . . If all goes as I have requested, six cases of my native earth will be in one of the warehouses, waiting for me, which is just as well as I have now got down to less than a single chest of it.
My escort have brought me to a very proper boarding house on Sacramento Street, an...d gone on themselves to suitable lodgings. A Missus Imogene Mullinton, a highly respectable widow from Vermont, owns this place and takes only reputable, single women. She has given me a suite of three rooms at the top of the house, her best, and for it I am to pay $75 a month, or any fraction of a month; a very high price for such accommodations, but I have discovered that everything in San Francisco is expensive. The suite will do until I can arrange to rent a house for three or four months.MoreLess
