odinthor, I didn't realized the signature on the 1885 letter [J.R. Toberman] belonged to a past mayor of L.A. Thanks for the information.
From what I gather...a son of J.R. and Emma Toberman died quite young.

In memory of their son, Mr. & Mrs. Toberman established a hospital in his name.

I'm disappointed a street address wasn't included. (
but we do know the street > > Central Boulevard)
