    Albert Franklin Sawyer letter to James A. Tufts

    Manuscripts

    Dr. Sawyer writes to Professor Tufts that his son Albert, having failed the exams at Harvard, will soon arrive with his sister at Exeter. Dr. Sawyer hopes his sister will remain until Albert is "settled in his work," and is "anxious to have my son conform rigidly to the discipline of the Academy." He would have come himself, but urgent business has made it impossible for him to leave San Francisco. It is his hope that Professor Tufts can provide assistance, for Dr. Sawyer's hope is that his son can eventually attend Harvard, as it is his own alma mater. However, Dr. Sawyer describes his son as "extremely slovenly in his habits of study."

    Ephemera: Photographs: Mavro? Warren, Hal Warren, Herbert Warren. 1 photograph with negative

    Manuscripts

    The Manuscript series is arranged alphabetically and contains appointment books, diaries, family histories, and speeches written by various family members. The oldest items in the collection belonged to Captain Alexander Horn. One item is a seaman's journal which tracks the voyages Captain Horn made between New York and New Orleans and between New York and the British Isles from 1809-1812. The other is a photographic copy of the Horn Log that contains original correspondence with Trinity Church, New York, the National Maritime Museum, and the New York Public Library which help authenticate the Warren and Horn families' relationship to Captain Horn. The appointment books were kept by the Warren family from 1897 to 1906, the diaries were kept by Minnie Horn Warren later in life, from 1932 until the time of her death in 1953. There is one diary that was kept by C.C. in 1913. The appointment books and diaries often track the day-to-day activities of the family and document the weather and its impact on the orchards. The family history entries were written by various family members including Leslie A. Warren, C.C. Warren, Minnie Warren, Goldie Zumwalt Warren, Alexander Horn, 1814-1905, and John H. Zumwalt, later in life. John H. Zumwalt was the grandfather of Goldie Zumwalt Warren, the wife of Leslie Warren. In his manuscript John recounts his family's journey to California in 1854. The speeches were written by Leslie A. Warren and were presented at the fiftieth anniversary of the San Dimas Orange Growers and Lemon Growers Association.
