Three of the letters discuss the shipwreck of the steamer Independence, February 16, 1853, off the coast of Baja California Sur. One of these letters is an 18-page letter by Mary R. Watson, a survivor of the wreck, in which she tells the story of the shipwreck, her son's drowning, and how the survivors made their way to a small island three miles from the ship. The survivors were on the island for three days before another ship saved them. One of the letters, written by Ella Watson Mizner, gives details regarding the San Francisco earthquake of 1906
