Six autograph letters (1853-1856) from August Scharf and his wife to her parents in Hermann [Missouri?] written after their arrival in California. The letters discuss their ranch, August's work in the mines, trouble with Elisabeth's brothers, financial difficulties, and Elisabeth's death. One letter contains an addendum by August's friend Jakob Schneider and wife. The Scharf letters are accompanied by three autograph letters dated 1860-1863, one from Alwine Scharf Weber to her brother from Naumburg, Germany containing family news, another from Gottlob Sachse Shuhmacher to his friend August Scharf from Nebra, near Naumburg, asking for news of his brother-in-law, and a third from Charles Robert Kleine to [August?] Scharf from San Francisco mentioning that he had visited Scharf's little son.

Abstract:
When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration, the result was "The Red Book," a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. However, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public.
