John Williamson, Manchester, England, to his nephew, John Tuft, c/o William Williamson, Watsonville, California, 10 January 1880
Description
Informs his nephew, John Tuft, of the death of his mother, Harriet Williamson Tuft, on 6 January 1880. Very religious letter, perhaps alluding to his brother James Williamson's alleged irreligion. Assures his nephew that his legacy is safe, because he (John) invested her money wisely.
