Three letters written by G. Cleveland to his sister Mary Cleveland in Canton, New York, between October 1849 and May 1850. In the first letter, dated October 28, 1849, Cleveland writes of his intentions to leave school and sail to California aboard the bark Orion. He describes his expectations of the wonders and dangers of the voyage and his hopes for success as well as his belief that "California is much like a lottery." The second letter, in three parts beginning February 5, 1850, was written while Cleveland was sailing around Cape Horn and during visits to Staten Land (now Isla de los Estados, Argentina) and Robinson Crusoe Island (part of the Juan Fernandez Islands, Chile). Cleveland writes of storms at sea, catching an albatross, and extensive descriptions of Robinson Crusoe Island (including the note that "we had the pleasure of seeing Crusoe's canoe...in a cove"). The final letter, dated May 1850, was written at the time of the Orion's arrival in California and further describes Cleveland's travels in the South Pacific and debates the total distance covered on the voyage.
