    Kimball Hale Dimmick letter to Sarah Dimmick

    Manuscripts

    In this letter to his wife Sarah, Kimball Dimmick is distraught at not getting any word from her. He is poised to quit his California business "at a sacrifice" and return home, for he is quite vexed, thinking that something might be wrong at home. He closes: "I have been in good health but not in good spirits, and do not expect to be until I hear from you." He also mentions he has been chosen to be president of the convention, the only position he is retaining as he prepares to return home. Dated 1849, August 31 and September 1.
