Three letters written from Louisa Anthony in Denver, Colorado, to Jennie G. Pelton in Cleveland, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois. The letters express concerns with the operations of the Copper King Mine, including commentary on "trouble getting the ore moved" and that the teamsters are afraid of Indian attacks. Anthony also worries for her husband's health and financial well-being. The final letter encourages Jennie Pelton to come to stay in Colorado with Anthony until they could both leave for California. Anthony plans to travel by way of San Diego and tells Pelton that she would not like San Francisco because it is too cold. The letters also contain information on marriages and other domestic matters related to various friends and family members. With envelopes.
