Ewing, Hugh B. (1826-1905)
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Thomas Ewing
Says he has been in Chicago on business and will leave soon. Describes Chicago as "dull," and the houses in the city as being, " ... the merest shells - which the north west wind, would blow into the Prairie, ... But the people, who are 'sand blind,' think them magnificent structures." Criticizes a client he was in Chicago to do business with.
