In this letter to his brother, John A. Scott writes of his journey to California. He reports the roads through Wyoming are in poor condition, and rainy weather made crossing rivers dangerous and difficult. At Fort Laramie, he saw many teams planning their routes West. Sicknesses such as cholera are rampant, and he has seen many graves along the roads. Includes fragment of envelope.
