Well known correspondents include fellow poets Ina Coolbrith and George Sterling, journalists George Wharton James and Blanche Partington, and publisher Mrs. Frank Leslie. Also includes photographs of Joaquin Miller, mostly taken in the last decade of his life near his home, The "Hights," in the hills above Oakland, California, perhaps a half dozen manuscript and typescript poems, and a few newspaper clippings.
