This group of items is comprised of three letters by Jessie Benton Frémont to George Whitwell Parsons, an article written by Jessie Benton Frémont, and a letter by George Whitwell Parsons to William Jennings Bryan. The Frémont letters discuss an article Jessie was writing on her husband, her father, the Bear Flag Revolt, and California history; an incomplete copy of that article is included in the group. The Parsons letter to Bryan consists of a request by Parsons to Bryan to speak to the members of the YMCA of Los Angeles; at the bottom of the page is a signed note by Bryan saying that it is "impossible."
