Manuscripts
This small group of items includes nine letters between Drake Dekay, Samuel L. M. Barlow, Benjamin F. Butler, Congressman Caleb Cushing, and Secretary of State Hamilton Fish. The letters discuss the formation of the Lower California Company, the colonizing of the land, and its problems with Mexico. There is also a copy of the minutes of the meeting of the company's Executive Committee on July 5, 1871. There are also four printed general orders given by the company regarding Captain Isham, a survey of the land, a ban on the sale of alcohol, and forbidding anybody from collecting "Orchilla."
