We have previously commented on the impossibility of obtaining reliable census data on early California. The San Francisco Directory for 1857-58 gives the city's population as 60,000. Alta California for 3 November 1855 claimed at least 60,000; whereas the Sacramento Union on 29 August 1855 reduced the figure to 40,000. We have used 50,000 as a reasonable estimate of San Francisco's permanent population in 1855.

Among E.S. Cooper's papers is an undated draft of a letter to "Mr. Editor," regarding the Travers Case, probably written in May 1856. It is in the hand of Cooper with several missing pages, and there are multiple versions of short segments of the statement. These materials have been arranged in a logical sequence to reconstruct the letter. The date and name of the newspaper (presumably a S.F. publication) to which the letter was sent have not been located, nor has a clipping been found.
