"deceased was 35 years of age, and leaves three orphan children at Grass Valley, California, the oldest ten years of age.  I do no know what if any other relatives than those orphans. Deceased left no property nor means of support. Appended to the report was the following letter:  "Grass Valley, California. April 16, 1869. William H. SMITH, Esq. Foreman of Crown Point Mine, Gold Hill - Dear Sir; your very kind favor of 15th instant was duly received, and in reply I would inform you in addition to my letter to Superintendent JONES, of 14th instant, that there are three children aged 5, 7 and 10 years, which are under my immediate charge. Their mother died about 21 months ago.  Two of the children are with me - the youngest and oldest - the other is with Humphrey JULIEN. Mr. J. has four children of his own, and I have six.  We are both day laborers, which keeps us digging all he time for hem; which if you are a man of family, you well know.  Therefore, if anyone has any claims for charity, there little ones have; and if your committee donate anything for them, please send it to me, and I will see that it is judiciously used for their benefit.  Yours Very Truly, James GLUYAS."
