Troubles in San Francisco: confidentially tells him constant appeals brought to him agt the Chief Alcalde Dr. T.M. Leavenworth; has not interfered but rendered him all possible aid; but must say, he is so personally obnoxious to the community that it is impossible for him to give satisfaction in anything; 'the security & tranquility of this community cannot be restored without a change in the office of Alcalde & the restoration of the records to the keeping of that office according to the Mexican laws.' Rodman M. Price same day writes to Gov. Riley that 'Leavenworth is a troublesome fellow & this community would be well rid of him'; Capt. J.L. Folsom same date also writes that Leavenworth's doings will arouse again the old machinery of discord; that it is his intention to get up such troubles as will give him a new hold on his office or make the present one lucrative
