A letter from John G. Downey to Edward C. Dyer, 25 May 1863. The missive discusses Downey's recent return to Los Angeles after serving his term as California's governor; personal news; and a small amount about Los Angeles' cattle industry, then mired in a severe drought. With original folds, creases and light soiling and rubbing, the condition is good overall.
