San Francisco, Cal., Apr 15 (San Francisco), red town postmark (Williams SAF-280) with matching "12½" rate handstamp on 1851 folded letter to Sacramento City, Ca., interesting short letter about preparations for a trip east; "Well now then I have got to this and can tell you what boat that I shall go on and what the fair is to Panama. I shall go on the Isthmus, second cabin $85. This boat belongs to Laws Line. The Panama is going out at the same time that this goes. They start at 4 O'clock this afternoon. The fair on the Panama is $100. There is a number of sail vessels a going out. I was offered a passage on one of them for $35, in the first cabin but that it best to take the steamer. You probably want to know which of the boats got down to the Bay first. The Senator got down a few minutes first. We got there just 9 O'clock. They run side and side most of the way. I think now that I can get home for $150. This is a much larger place that Sac City. No more at present.", F.-V.F., a great letter regarding the Laws & Pacific Mail steamer lines. Estimate $300 - 400.
