Letter sent by George Cooper Pardee while he was attending medical school in Leipzig, Germany, in 1882. Pardee writes of various friends from U.C. Berkeley, who he calls the "'79ers." He relates news of their various jobs, political positions, and experiences in Alaska, the Carolinas, Colombia, and elsewhere. Although he mentions most of his friends by last name only, there are references to John Hoffman Wheeler, Joe Scotchler, Morse, Kelsey, Cougdon, Rothchild, Dorn, Campbell , and Clowes, among others. Included with the letter is an autograph card by Pardee.
