Laid in is a typed letter signed by San Francisco bookseller, David Magee, to Roby Wentz, author of several books on California printing (The Grabhorn Press: A Biography; Eleven Western Presses, etc.) In the letter, Magee states that he purchased these issues from printer William Loy, whose continuing article, The California Press: A Sketch of California Newspapers from 1846 to the Present, appears in Numbers 2-4. Magee adds in this letter dated March 29, 1958, that he has never seen this periodical before, and that Bob Grabhorn had No. I only.
