1854 - Charles wrote James asking him to return to Calif. with his bride. He says ".. but now dark discord has jarred my feelings until now of love for home remains except for you and your wife... what a vacancy there is in my heart and is that dear love so fondly cherished for father (i.e. gr-f Crandall) unreturned show this letter to father tell him I love him with an undying love although he has inflicted upon me the most severe wound that it has ever been my part to bear...".
