Marion DeVries Papers

This collection chiefly contains letters written to United States Congressman from California and United States Court of Customs Appeals judge Marion DeVries (1865-1939), between the late 1890s and 1925, chiefly expressing gratitude for a favor rendered or to ask for his political support. Of note are two letters; the first was written by A. F. Hector to Marion DeVries, dated Mar. 3, 1900 discussing mining in Mono County, California; the second was written by William H. Metson to Marion DeVries, which talks about the relationship between Mexico and the United States.
