Nancy,
We have three of Matthews' maps in our collection
(all facsimiles): Virginia City (1868); San Diego
(1873), and Los Angeles (1873). You can also find
a digital copy of the San Diego map at
http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf6t1nb77w/
and a digital copy of his Santa Barbara map at
http://content.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/tf009nb2dz/.
Let me know if you are interested in our three
maps and if so, we'll work something out.
Boris
