Manuscripts
Two letters, one dated 1857 January 28, from Crescent City to "Dear Sarah," the other undated and written from "Thursday School Roome [sic]." In the letters, Wendell talks about the differences between the coast of Maine and California. She also mentions the recent death of the local lighthouse keeper who got swept away to sea. Much of her letters talk about the local California Indians, their customs and superstitions and the supposed dangers that they represent to white settlers. The letters are accompanied by typescripts.
