http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/631296241

The three items include: a 19-page letter by Cleveland to J. Ross Browne, US Minister to China, regarding the Chinese in California (1868, July 27); a 476-page handwritten manuscript entitled "The Chinese in California," written in 1868-1869; and a typed manuscript entitled "San Diego Sixty Years Ago" written circa 1929. Both the letter and manuscript regarding Chinese in California are about the history of Chinese immigration to California, their social and domestic lives, their religion, education, missionaries work with the Chinese, their role in the California Gold Rush and the building of railroads and the various California laws regarding Chinese immigrants and Chinese women. The manuscript about San Diego covers the history of San Diego after its settlement. Cleveland talks about "Old Town," San Diego founder Alonzo Horton, the city's development, the landscape of the area, and the native peoples in the vicinity.
