CPRR letter, 1872

From: "Chris from Trains" tut@PSLN.com

I have a hand written letter on Central Pacific Railroad letterhead from the office of the President, Sacramento dated February 10, 1872. It is addressed to the CEO Bank Of Cal (Assume Bank of California) Mr. S. Franklin.

This letter talks about the Rev. Scott and was written from what appears to be Dave or maybe Daun Z. Yoslz. ...

The back side of the letter is page 3 of notes that Rev. Scott made. Yes, I happen to have pages 1, 2 and 4 of his notes. ...

Anyone have any idea who is the person that wrote this letter? Perhaps the security for the president? To further make this interesting the Rev. Scott wrote what appears to be a church sermon on the back of this letter.
