Thirteen volumes, some signed or stamped with Mason's name, containing holograph diaries for 1858, 1861, 1863-1865, 1872-1874, 1876, 1878, 1880-1881, and 1887-1888; and a volume containing holograph accounts, listing Mason's expenses while living in Sacramento, 1857-1860. The volume of accounts also contains a holograph diary, apparently a copy transcribed by Mason, of his journey to California, describing his departure from St. Louis, Missouri, in Apr, 1854; travel on the California Trail; and arrival in Sacramento in Jun, 1855. Several of the diaries for 1858-1888 are written in printed diary volumes, including volumes published by A. L. Bancroft & Company, San Francisco, and by Kiggins & Kellogg and L. & E. Edwards, New York City. These diaries contain very brief entries, usually listing expenses and noting news of his work, such as arrivals and departures of river boats, 1858-1861, and news of farm, livestock, and other ranch work, 1861-1888.
