Letter book of George Folsom kept from September 2, 1850 to October 20, 1853, while he was chargé d'affaires of the United States legation in the Netherlands. The letters, written to various American government officials, discuss the preparations for Matthew Perry's expedition to Japan (including the effort to obtain coastal maps of Japan and Walter Henry Medhurst's Japanese dictionary); the case of William A. Seely, a New York lawyer involved in recovering the Dutch crown jewels stolen in 1828; the effort to dislodge a gentleman who claimed to be the consul of the Republic of Texas; and diplomatic implications of the 1848 constitutional reform in the Netherlands.

MacKay hopes that Folsom's health is improving, and writes to Folsom that "Congress could not fail to exonerate you from all accountability" and that "one thing is certain, you have not been dealt fairly with." He hopes that Folsom's "business troubles are finally closed." He laments the choice of John Bigler for governor of California, saying "I could hardly suppose that California could have sunk so low."
