[Denver, James William ] Pacific Steamship Company and Pacific Railroad Meet. Two autograph letters signed by William H. Davidge, president of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, 3pp and 1, prespectively, 4½ x 7 in. and 7½ x 10 in., New York; to Congressman Denver. Both fine. The first, written 3 Oct. 1856, says, in part: "I was in Washington in your absence & saw Genl. Anderson but do not know what he has done… I will be glad to receive from you any reflections - as to how my own matter can be promoted or the Rail Road Bill assisted…" The second, written, 23 July 1857, reports that a proposition he had made has not been accepted - the matter is settled unless "the Department" does something - but he has reported the thing as closed - and is sorry to trouble Denver about all this.
Estimated Value $400 - 800.
