Bailey, James. Autograph Letter Signed. North Chili, New York. Nov. 23, 1850. To Guy Phelps, Hartford, Conn. 1pg. + stampless address leaf.

"...having a little desire to Embark to California and take a peep at theEliphant...", Bailey asks the cost of life insurance, including the Connecticut Company's added premium for "Sea Risk" charged to those sailing "around the Horn".While "seeing the Elephant" became the famous symbolic expression ofForty-Ninersabout to travel to California, the phrase is not often found in letters by hopeful gold rushers.
