Letters from Robert Rea to Pauline Rea, 1878-1880 by Robert Rea PDF Summary

Book Description: A collection of letters and other family papers relating to early San Diego settler Robert Rea (1850-1880) and his wife Pauline. Rea, a health seeker, emigrated from Canada in 1877 and settled in the El Cajon area of San Diego County, seeking to make a living through beekeeping and chicken farming. The bulk of the collection comprises 57 letters (120 holograph pages) by Robert Rea to his wife Pauline. The letters begin on Janurary 23, 1878 and continue to February 1880, just before Rea's death from tuberculosis in March. Rea's letters describe ranch life, progress of his apiary in Cota Canyon, health issues, Native Americans, and a trip to Yuma, Arizona. Beginning in late September 1879, Rea wrote from Yuma, where he was hoping to find a cure for his consumption: "Seven years ago today I came to SD [San Diego] for my health and now am leaving it again in search of it," he wrote to Pauline on September 30, 1879. To reach Yuma, Rea traveled across the desert on horseback. In the final letter, written on February 25, 1880, Rea leaves Pauline his right and ownership in an apiary and ranch in San Diego County, a buggy, a horse, a cow, and tools. After her husband died, Pauline and her two sons moved to Oregon. She married Albert Hammond in June 1889. Other items in the collection include four Western Union Telegraph Company telegrams from 1878 to Pauline contratulating her on her wedding; an 11-page poem written in August 1884 by a friend about a trip to Crater Lake, Oregon; six handwritten leaves written by Pauline sometime after her marriage to A.E. Hammond in 1889, relating to her family history; and several pages of handwritten diary entries by Pauline dated between May 21, 1923 and August 1924.
