Autograph letter signed written in response to recipient's request for information regarding the whereabouts of family member Christopher. Hill describes his partnership in a land claim with "Chris" on farmland in Red Wing, Minnesota, between November 1855 and September 1856, and Chris's relocation to Superior, Wisconsin, where he was hired as a member of the surveying party of the northern section of the St. Croix and Lake Superior Railroad. Hill briefly describes his own position as a clerk and draftsman; his unmarried status; and his agreement with the recipient that a visit to the West would be interesting to him. Hill provides Chris's address in a postscript. The letterhead contains a printed woodcut view of "St. Anthony, Minnesota, [now part of Minneapolis] on the Mississippi."

Most widely known today for his studies of Near Eastern languages Guillaume Postel was a pioneer in the study of Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Aramaic in Western Europe. He was better known in his own time as a prophet, millennialist, and Utopiast. His writings deal largely with his effort to promote world peace, but he was condemned as a heretic for his belief that he was divinely inspired; he claimed, in fact, that he was the reincarnation of the Virgin of Venice. As a scholar he was instrumental in promoting the teaching of Arabic and Syriac, and participated in editing and publishing a number of early Christian works. His theories of language origin (he thought all languages were derived from Hebrew) are no longer considered valid, but his work in comparative linguistics earned him the reputation as the founder of that discipline.
