The Manuscript series contains 20 journals written by George E. Farrand from 1915 to 1954 as well as two printed publications. The journals include daily entries regarding his law practice, the weather, his weight, as well as details regarding family matters and world events, such as the Great Depression, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, World War II and the start of the Cold War. At the end of most of the journals, he includes a brief summary of his year, including personal, business and world events. The later journals also include numerous news clippings. The Correspondence series is arranged alphabetically by author and predominantly contains letters related to business transactions such as the merger of First National and Security Pacific Banks in Los Angeles and the Julian Petroleum scandal as well as personal correspondence amongst friends, acquaintances, and political allies, including Henry M. Robinson, George E. Farrand, Harry Chandler, George E. Hale, Lou Henry Hoover, Herbert Hoover (many through Hoover's assistants, including Lawrence Richey and Paul Sexson), and Alonzo Englebert Taylor. The Ephemera series is arranged alphabetically by subject and then chronologically within each folder. It contains separate folders for biographical and genealogical materials, cards, empty envelopes, event programs, indices and disposition of the files of Henry M. Robinson, judicial opinions, law school examination, legal documents and research memoranda, miscellaneous office documents, newspaper clippings, notes and minutes from meetings, pamphlets and printed statements, photographs, receipts, securities issues and offering materials, Senate hearings transcripts, speeches and statements of assets and "C" memoranda. The detailed indices of Henry M. Robinson's files indicate the status of his files upon his death and the disposition of those materials by his brother and George E. Farrand.

Correspondence and Ephemera
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.
