J. K. Lum letter to "dear sir,"
Manuscripts
Letter from J.K. Lum in Skookumchuck, Washington, to an unknown recipient. Lum offers the recipient mountain beavers for $3.00, and writes that he can "send you almost any of the birds or mammals of this country...at reasonable prices." He lists some of the animals he has for sale, and notes some prices, which vary according to the "size and difficulty of capture." He asks for a list of desired animals along with the prices the recipient is willing to pay. He also offers to make an exchange for a spider monkey, which he wants to "complete a group for the fair."

Benjamin J. Edson letters to Robert Moir
Manuscripts
In these four letters to Robert Moir, Benjamin J. Edson writes of the business of mining in Nevada. Three of the letters (HM 16523-16525) are dated 1865; April 16, May 9, and October 31 respectively, while HM 16526 was writted 1879, March 28. Much of the content of the letters concern mining claims and their pending sales, with procedures outlined in detail. It appears that Mr. Moir is a potential investor in said claims, and Edson is acting as local agent, arranging and reporting on the ongoing business. By late 1865, they have procured a mill and have begun operations. In the final letter, Edson asks Moir for employment, as he apparently left their mutual business dealings fifteen years prior.
