C. LETTER to one "David," on stationery of the Continental Hotel ("Strictly First Class, Pleasantly Situated, J. H. Van Horn & Co., Proprs."), Salt Lake City, September 12, 1888. 10¾ X 8½ inches. 4 pages on two sheets of the nicely-printed Salt Lake City hotel stationery. Very good; folds from mailing. Cover not present. Mather appears to be an affluent investor who may stay the winter. No mention of Mormons, but a nice sampling of Salt Lake City life. Personal gas lanterns needed in order to walk the streets late at night after the electric lamps are turned off; daily swims in the Great Salt Lake; good accommodations; rushing to get a lady on the train; street traffic, Pullman car rates, etc.</blockquote> Thanks for the summary, Jared -
