    Manuscripts

    The collection contains correspondence, notebooks, manuscripts, land tracts, scrapbooks, cartes-de-visites and ephemera.

Half of the correspondence deals with the Pioneer (Donner) Monument, which was financed by the Native Sons of the Golden West. Correspondence also includes letters by C.F. McGlashan, Patty Reed Lewis, and seven letters by Tamsen Donner. A letter from Eliza to "My Children" was written immediately after her visit with John Baptiste Trudeau. There is an incomplete handwritten draft of The expedition of the Donner Party and its tragic fate.

    Edward Robeson Taylor letter to Mr. Prang

    Manuscripts

    In this letter to Mr. Prang written on letterhead of the Mayor's Office, City and County of San Francisco, Taylor thanks Prang for his kind birthday letter. He thinks the mayoral election on November 5, 1907 will go well, as he believes that the people seem to be for him while all the politicians are not. Taylor asks Prang to remember him to his wife and says that he is sending a copy of his selected poems that were published on the anniversary of the fire.
