W.R. Isaacs MacKay letter to Joseph Libbey Folsom
Manuscripts
MacKay hopes that Folsom's health is improving, and writes to Folsom that "Congress could not fail to exonerate you from all accountability" and that "one thing is certain, you have not been dealt fairly with." He hopes that Folsom's "business troubles are finally closed." He laments the choice of John Bigler for governor of California, saying "I could hardly suppose that California could have sunk so low."

Clarence King papers
Manuscripts
A collection of approximately 752 items from 1859 to 1902, which consists of the scientific and professional papers of Clarence King. The material includes correspondence, notebooks, letter books, notes, surveys, sketches, manuscripts, photographs, and ephemera. The 43 scientific notebooks in the collection include material on the California Geological Survey of 1864 to 1866, and the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel from 1867 to 1872. The collection also includes correspondence between James D. Hague and G. P. Putnam's Sons regarding Hague's publication of Clarence King's Memoirs (1904). While the collection is rich in detail about King's many professional activities, most of the personal dimensions of his life (such as his marriage to Ada Copeland, an African American resident of New York City, their five children, and their subsequent life together, which he concealed for decades) are not reflected in these papers.
