Letter from Toribio Malarin in Cerro de Pasco, Peru, to his brother Juan Malarin in San Francisco. Toribio writes of his silver mining in the Pasco region of the Andes mountains, but notes that he has fallen into debt and is close to ruin. He wanted to join many of his compatriots departing for the California gold rush, but felt he had a responsibility to his mother and sister in Peru. Toribio writes that he was glad to hear of Juan's success in California, and hoped that he would not be affected by the misfortunes that he felt had plagued their family. He warns Juan to be careful in his associations and to be vigilant about protecting his safety and property. Toribio did not know that Juan had died in Monterey in April 1849. In Spanish.
