    Cornelius De Boom letters to John Townsend

    Manuscripts

    These three manuscripts deal with affairs of real estate between Cornelius De Boom and John Townsend during the year 1850. HM 35192, dated February 26, is an agreement between the two concerning the construction of buildings upon lots of land located within San Francisco. HM 35193, written August 11, carries further details of the agreement. De Boom requests that the ship bearing his brother may anchor within Townsend's water lots, and more details of this arrangement follow. At the writing of the third letter (HM 35194, dated August 23), De Boom is preparing to depart. His brother has not yet arrived, but he hopes to meet with Townsend to finalize business matters before leaving.
