From Leavenworth on behalf of "two sons of the Hon. Thos Ewing of Ohio" and himself, Sherman informs Coleman & Co., "No. 88, Wall Street New York," that the firm would be pleased to be of whatever service they could. He then writes of Leavenworth's great prospects: "we propose to make this our future home. . . . It now contains 10,000 people, and reminds me much in the appearance of its houses, streets, and people of California towns in 1851 & 2."
