Description
Chandler visits Oakland from San Francisco, and describes the Oakland area. He has had trouble settling his accounts in Virginia City because of the recent Indian troubles, and writes that the Volunteers and Regulars have had a brush with them “this morning.” Chandler writes on San Francisco, mentioning that “the people here call it Morral [sic] now but our New England friends would not think so perhaps.” Chandler writes on San Francisco’s cultural attractions and women. He also writes on the way women dress in San Francisco. Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Amusements of San Francisco, Adornment of the women.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
