Territorial. Includes a California State Telegraph envelope address to Day. Telegram is dated July 6, 1864. "Send no more bars to Theall, loss too much." Theall was an assayer in Virginia City. Day was the superintendent of the Mexican Mine. He would also be connected to the Ophir Mine and Mill. Lent is a forgotten, but extremely important investor on the Comstock. Many (perhaps most) important mines at one time or another received financial support from him.
