Transcription of a letter written by Edward Henry Lenox to Thomas Alexander Wood. Lenox describes some of his experiences immigrating to Oregon in 1843, specifically an incident when James Willis Nesmith saved someone from drowning. He also mentions writing a book (presumably the book "Overland to Oregon: in the Tracks of Lewis and Clark, History of the First Emigration to Oregon in 1843"). Lenox requests Wood provide a list of names of the Nesmith family. This document is written on Oregon Historical Society letterhead.
Lenox, Edward Henry, 1827-
