Manuscripts
Three letters sent by Walter Moore Leman from California and Nevada to Nathan Porter between 1870 and 1871. The first letter, sent from San Juan, California, asks Porter for a monetary loan since the traveling theatre is not as successful as Leman had hoped. The second letter was sent from Virginia City, Nevada, and describes the theatre's travels and success in Nevada, and a sketch of a "Washoe Canary" driven by "John Chinaman." The final letter, dated 1871, describes the experiences of Leman's son Walter, who had to cancel a sea voyage due to illness.
