His letters provide a description of Sydney's Aboriginal inhabitants and the colony's flora and fauna. The letters mention William and Elizabeth Paterson, Matthew Flinders, Bennelong, Charles Bishop, Governor Hunter, Lord Sydney, Governor Phillip and Governor King. In these letters to his father, Henry talks about his daughter Maria and also reflects on his naval career. Included in the collection is correspondence with George Bass, 1800-1803. This comprises eight autograph letters signed by George Bass, three letters to Bass signed by William Waterhouse in London and Margate, an autograph draft by Waterhouse, and a letter by Waterhouse to his daughter Elizabeth.
