Bearer Richard Vaderburgh appointed asst-forage master for "Chocrane Ranch" with orders to forage as necessary. Signed by A. S Kimball. Lots of info on these guys in Google, with some great history. Unfortunately, the document suffers from a period of damp stains, and although easy to ready, is stronger in importance than appearance.

Very Rare Card with Sea Moss imprinted on the front, and on the back Mrs. Frank Lewis; noted in pencil "one of the Donner Party"
At 8 years old, Patty Reed Lewis was an 8 year old, who crossed with the Donner Party. She became the Proprietess of Capitola, California's grand hotel, and sold these cards in the lobby. Currently, there is a museum in Capitola with a picture of one of these cards, but their card does not have the original sea moss (seaweed), and is in lesser condition. A true relic from one of the Wild West's more infamous events.

Two Letters
From Pierre DuPonceau to Rev Samuel Jarvis
Written in January 1820
Regarding Their Study of Native American Languages
Two letters from Pierre Etienne DuPonceau to Reverend Samuel Jarvis regarding Eastern Woodland Indian dialects. Both letters share DuPonceau's enthusiasm for the subject and his interest in a book Jarvis is writing on the same subject. DuPonceau offers comparisons of Huron and Iroquois words, as well as other comparisons. Very interesting content.
Pierre DuPonceau served as an ADC to Baron von Steuben at Valley Forge, he then studied law in Philadelphia and became a highly successful attorney. He became secretary and eventually president of the American Philosophical Society. DuPonceau became a world-renowned expert on Native American Indian languages and dialects, his writings are still studied today. The paper is watermarked "DAMES" and has a dove holding an olive branch, it is lightly toned with some soiling on the outside and a tear where the wax seal was broken.
