 n the days when I worked for the General, his town of Wilmington lacked venues in which to conduct business comfortably. But, upon constructing his residence, the General realized that the house was as commodious a setting for business as for a residence. Thus, the General established his office in his gracious home. In it, he kept his books. He doubtlessly drafted documents in his campaigns to develop the region's railroads and harbor. Even today, the office contains some of the General's most important documents, notably his Commission into the California State Militia of the National Guard and a copy of the document which the General and his fellow state senators signed to ratify the U.S. Constitution's 13th Amendment freeing the nation's slaves.
