Description

A letter from H. C. Whitehead to the San Diego Police Chief, 1 October 1890. The short missive, on the letterhead of the auditor of the Southern California Railway Company, mentions the enclosure of a handwriting sample and photo (this latter being .4 of this accession) of George M. Martin, suspected of embezzlement from the company. Martin was acquitted of the charge subsequently. With trimmed corners, yellowing, stains, soiling, folds and creases, the overall condition is fair.
