Letters written to his brother, Jim, from Mare Island Navy Yard, San Francisco Bay, Panama, and the coast of Central America deal primarily with day-to-day concerns. They also offer references to local events and activities, such as the imprisonment of pirates on Alcatraz, his acquaintance with Frank Hodgeson, mathematics professor at California College; and events of the Civil War and evidence of U. S. involvement in Central America, notably San Salvador.
