A collection of letters to and from various members of the Angell family, of Wayne and Dutchess Counties, New York, including twelve letters from John Carpenter Angell to his mother (Mary Angell) and brother from 1848 to 1850. The first three letters were written in 1848 while Angell was traveling in the South. On January 15, 1849, he wrote from New York giving his reasons for going to California and his plan to sail on the ship Pacific; the next three letters were mailed from Rio de Janeiro, February 23-March 26, and Callao, Peru, May 12-June 8; and five were from San Francisco, August 10, 1849-December 1, 1850. The letters describe the voyage, the delay in Rio when the U.S. consul arranged a change of captains, the arrival in San Francisco in August, a visit to Sacramento, and two months in Oregon. Two letters contain pictorial letterheads depicting Rio de Janeiro. Accompanied by 16 letters from John Carpenter Angell's wife, Elizabeth Leonard Hyde Angell in Palmyra, to Annie Herrendeen and Caroline F. Lakie, dating from 1848 to 1857, discussing, among other things, religion; a letter from Pliny T. Sexton to Stephen West Hyde asking for his daughter Harriet's hand in 1859; and 8 letters to Amasa, Eliza Ann, and Mary Ward Angell from Owen, Susan, Clarissa, and Daniel O.
