The Hay family papers contain 176 items from 1862 to 1959; the collection includes personal and business letters, legal documents, as well as official documentation of Thomas Hay's pension. The first three folders contain letters from Thomas Hay to his family during the Civil War. The fourth and fifth folders focus on Elizabeth A. Hay's efforts to receive Thomas' pension after his death. The sixth folder deals with Thomas' affiliation with Freemasonry in both the United States and Chile. The seventh folder contains documentation regarding Elizabeth A. Hay's estate upon her death. The remaining eight folders cover broad aspects that are multi-generational, including correspondence, land deals, legal documents, California teaching record, ephemera, and a photograph album. Please note, since the Freemason documents were created within the institution, the date that is shown is the Anno Lucis amount, which began in 4000 B.C.E.; therefore, simply subtracting 4000 from the number shown reveals the more traditional date. Also included with the collection is the tin box that reads "Elizabeth A. Hay" which was used to store these family papers.

In this letter, Hay is thanking Hague for sending him proofs from the biography of the geologist Clarence King entitled Clarence King memoirs: The helmet of Mambrino. The King Memorial Committee of the Century Association, of which James D. Hague was a member, published the biography in 1904. Although Hay returned the proofs to Hague, they are not with the letter.
