In these two letters addressed to "My Beloved Wife," David Saville writes that he hopes to make enough money in San Francisco to "make us independent and pay all our obligations." As business is slow, he has become homesick, as he has "too much time on my hands." He writes "if only Congress would pass a Rail Road bill it would give us new life." Dated 1860, May 14 (HM 16640) and June 1 (HM 16641).
