Edward Otho Cresap Ord letter to Collis Potter Huntington
Manuscripts
Letter from Edward Ord in Mexico City to Collis Potter Huntington. Ord writes that he had met with Mexican president Manuel Gonzalez Flores, when Ord had apparently given him a proposition relating to the railroad. The proposition appears to have related to the route of a rail line, which would be partly constructed on private land. Ord writes that he made "this communication in confidence and as a matter of duty to my employers."

Manuscripts
The material in this collection was created and collected by the Arata family, especially María Antonia Jimeno de Arata. It consists of books, maps, papers, photographs, and printed ephemera. The papers include writings and poetry, possibly written by María Antonia Jimeno de Arata. There are booklets, pamphlets, and photographs related to Santa Barbara, California and the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. There are also numerous pamphlets related to the United States National Forest Service and National Park Service in California. The scrapbook mostly contains postcards acquired by the family's travel on the Panama Pacific Line and images from the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. Note: Some of the postcards in the scrapbook are loose. The two books in this collection are "La Mujer Catolica" and "Southern California" issued by Southern California Panama Exposition Commission.
