Find Letter From General Grant.

The Historical association of Los Angeles is to be presented with a number of Interesting documenta recovered from an outlaw’s hut. among them a letter written by Gen. U. 8. Grant during the siege of Vicksburg. The Grant letter was addressed to Gen. Parka and conveyed orders relative to operations in front of the Confederate stronghold. The other papers are supposed to have been stolen from Gen. Manuel Garcia of the Mexican army. * That the documents had been secreted in the hotel for many years was shown by their condition, and by the further fact that the hut, a dilapidated old abode near Ferris, was abandoned when the railroad supplanted the stage line on the run between Lon, Angeles and San Diego.
