Correspondence between former California Governor Pat Brown and "Sacramento man-of-letters" Robert Young, Jr. The 1975 letters

School), and remind him that he had known Young's mother Rosamond Stilson many years before. The 1989 letters tell Brown of
Young's mother's death, and the 1993 letters offer Brown a Lowell High School (San Francisco) yearbook that had belonged to
her.
