To Elisha Bliss, Jr., in Hartford:  
SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, '68.  
E. BLISS, Jr. Esq.  
Dr. SIR,--The Alta people, after some hesitation, have given me

publishing them themselves in book form. I am steadily at work, and  
shall start East with the completed Manuscript, about the middle of  
June.  
I lectured here, on the trip, the other night-over sixteen hundred  
dollars in gold in the house--every seat taken and paid for before  
night.
