Additional Technical Notes for item
Inside film container is a letter from Marshall Gold SHP to Mr. E. George Davis (1972): "The film 'California's Golden Beginning' which you recently donated to the Park is in excellent shape. There are a couple of splices which do not detract from the film and it is better than the one we already had."
