  Charles A. Goodwin letter to Jennie M. Goodwin

  Manuscripts

  Letter from Charles A. Goodwin to his wife Jennie M. Goodwin, sent from Port Townsend, Washington, while Charles was en route to the Klondike. He begins by describing the harbor at Port Townsend, where he is waiting for the ship Alki to arrive. He also writes of boastful local gold miners who spoke of the ease of making a fortune in Alaska, notes that he is well equipped with cold-weather gear, and asks after his children. He briefly mentions his fears of being unsuccessful, but is ultimately optimistic about his future mining prospects.

The manuscripts section also contains drafts of Byron's daughter and Turney's research notes for that book. Other manuscripts include: a draft of her biography "The Patriarch," which was intended to illuminate the lives of the women in George Washington's life; a fictional trilogy regarding early California entitled "Light in the Spring," "Manifest Destiny," and "Fruit of the Vine;" and a biography of Aimée Dubuc de Rivery entitled "The Beautiful One." Research notes and materials for her biographies and novels are listed under "Note cards" and "Notes." There are reviews of Turney's biographies and novels, two interviews with Catherine Turney, and poetry written by Turney while she attended Bishop's School. Of note are seventeen drawings by the artist Stephen Longstreet. There are also manuscripts relating to the creation and early days of the Pasadena Community Playhouse and two manuscripts regarding Catherine Turney's experiences with John Barrymore in the 1930s while he played the leading role in "My Dear Children."
