The collection contains J. Goldsborough Bruff's oversize revised version of his journal (c. 1853) which documents his journey across the American plains in 1849 by way of Lassen's Trail. Also included in the collection are 264 drawings of scenes from his overland journey, of various places he visited in California, and of his sea voyage to the Eastern United States via Mexico and Panama. Many of Bruff's drawings are in pencil, but thirty-eight of them were drawn with pastels and are in color.

Jesuit missionaries in Mexico letters
Manuscripts
The first letter is from Juan María de Salvatierra, S.J. to Antonio Nuñez de Miranda, S.J., the Jesuit Provincial, on the 12th or 30th of June 1680. From the mission of Santa Inés de Chínipas (in the modern day state of Chihuahua), Salvatierra writes to Nuñez de Miranda, asking permission to carry out the charge that the Father Inspector ("Padre Visitador") Juan Fernández Cabero has assigned to him of working in the district ("partido") of Santa Teresa de Guasapares (also in Chihuahua). Salvatierra quotes a letter from another Father Inspector Juan Ortíz Zapato that spells out this charge. Salvatierra is to work with the Native Americans called "Usarones" (Husarones). HM 83155
