Lucy Stoddard Wakefield letter to "Lucius & Rebecca"
Manuscripts
Lucy Wakefield writes to her friends Lucius and Rebecca, describing her environment in the mining town of Placerville, California. Like many others who arrived for the Gold Rush, she would like to stay in California permanently. Her shop has been doing well, and she has been making twenty dozen pies per week, all on her own. Of living in California, where she has been for two and a half years, she writes "there is no way for a woman to make money except by hard work of some sort." Lucy hopes to see her friends in California soon. Dated 1851, September 18-25.
