Vincennes through Southeast Asia including Singapore, Borneo, Cape Town (South Africa), and the Island of St. Helena in 1842. The series includes personal correspondence and journals from Ambrose Parsons written en route to China (1859), and the journal of James F. Smith to and from California (1849-1851).
