Pacific Improvement Company records, 1869-1931, bulk 1883-1927

Series 3. General Correspondence

Identifier:
101277
Scope and content:

Includes a series of indexes of general letters, copybooks, and a large collection of general correspondence. Although quite routine in nature, this series is very complete; it covers twenty-six years of the company's existence, and much of the important California development took place during the years of this particular series of correspondence. Within the bulk of the correspondence, three definite sub-series were obvious and were preserved. A fourth was added for the remaining letters which fell into none of the first three patterns.

Arrangement:

The correspondence within folders is often arranged in reverse chronological order.
