The majority of the collection consists of correspondence between Lawrence Clark Powell and historian Andrew Rolle (1943-1990 - 7 folders). In the correspondence they often discuss their current book projects, articles, etc. They also discuss other historians and authors (John Caughey, Robert Glass Cleland, etc.), as well as Occidental College, the Huntington Library, the Zamorano Club, and UCLA. Along with the correspondence are several typewritten copies of manuscripts by Powell (book reviews, etc.). There is also one postcard from Benjamin De Casseres to Andrew Rolle (1943).

This memoir of the 20s and 30s abounds with vivid portraits of the boys and girls, wanton or chaste, from the right side of the tracks and the wrong, who shared Pasadena and the orange groves with Lawrence Clark Powell. Simple, straightforward, and rendered with pointillist precision, this reflection encompasses the full scope of his adolescent experience. Thanks to this lyrical memoir, we also recover Southern California that can never be fully lost.
