A letter from Thomas Mercer to Avery Walsworth, 26 June 1877. Written from Pomona, the letter discusses drought conditions in the region, the new settlement of the Mercers, and details crops that are being raised on the farm in the area. There is also reference to "Marshall," which is that county in Iowa where Mercer was an attorney and real estate agent for about twenty years after migrating there from his native Ohio. With folds, some stains, soiling and edge rubbing, the overall condition is good.
