De mi vida, 1943 (1862-1943), N.d.

"De mi vida" is a collection of mostly typed biographical notes written by Alejandro Vallarta, son of Ignacio Luis Vallarta, to his three children (Guadalupe, José, and Ignacio) in the early 1940's. Alejandro Vallarta wrote these notes in his later years as a means to give advice, explain family history, recount personal anecdotes, and account for financial values of estates and earnings. Much information exists about his father and the relationships between Ignacio Luis Vallarta and his wife and children. Also included in "De mi vida" are correspondence among family members, photographs, wedding announcements, and evidence of Alejandro's schoolwork (i.e. a thesis, school certificates). Materials in these folders dates as early as 1862 and as late as 1943.
