The first series includes correspondence and documents belonging to Daniel Webster Andrews and his family, chiefly his father John Andrews and his mother Susan Masson Andrews. The material is organized alphabetically by family member. In the letters by John Andrews to his brother William Andrews (who apparently was killed on August 23, 1814 in the explosion of Gunboat #146), he talks about the frigates Constitution and Independence, other ships in the Navy Yard in Charleston, and news of battles between the US troops and the British including the Battle of York (April 1813). In the letters of Daniel Webster Andrews, he writes about his experiences as a naval officer on the ship Ino. He also writes about Fort Monroe, Virginia (one of his letters is written on a pictorial lettersheet of "Fortress Monroe") and witnessing the USS Minnesota almost get hit by a torpedo as well as the sinking of the USS Patapsco. Also included is a letter from Frank Hull to Lizzie Blood describing a trip to Central City, Colorado in August 1863, as well as an 1817 commission to George Manners signed by George IV. There are also two letters by Olivia Peyton Murray Cutting, wife of William Bayard Cutting of New York, to her niece Jane Murray; one of her letters states "I feel sure that Professor [Max] Farrand will do everything possible in showing you the treasures of the Huntington Museum." Max Farrand was the Huntington Library's first director.
