Gold Rush performance writing
The minners are the ones that give me the most buisness. Now i am a steamboat captain im taking all the minners to San francisco. So they can go and mind and get gold.
The reason they want the gold is so they can get money and buy land or get a house. Dear, parents life is good in california we are minning very good getting lots of gold. The food her is amazing and the weather is something even better. And im making so much money from being apart of the gold rush i think im going to stay out here and build my life here when i get a wife and kids. I'm sorry i've not sent a letter lately but we've been finding so much gold. Sincerly- your son a 49er
