    Cornelius Cole letters to John Percival Jones

    Manuscripts

    This small group is comprised of three letters by Cole to Jones, written from Los Angeles, mostly about economic policies in the United States, gold, silver, and currency. He also states that we must "free ourselves from the iron grasp of Wall-Street, and free coinage will go far in that direction."
