(back to top)	[Two letters written by James Barton Hart, youngest son of James & Charlotte (Barton) Hart, to Warren Co. resident (?) Mr. William Cose Jr. exist in the file. Why the letters came to be filed in the Box is unknown but fortunate since J.B. Hart posted them not only from 'Gold Rush-era' California but from near the gold fields as well (see his reference in the 2nd letter to the low water levels permitting the stream beds to be 'worked'). It's possible that Mr. Cose (?) was either running the old James Hart farm for his heirs or was, instead, buying the place. The latter possibility seems to agree more closely with the amount of money involved.]
