Consists of journals, drawings, correspondence, and miscellaneous items. A military journal marked "Diary" on the front cover, contains entries from July 10, 1863 to Aug. 31, 1864. A combined journal and sketchbook (1865-1866) kept by Manigault begins with a diary entry about his discharge from a U.S. military hospital at Beaufort, S.C., and his brief stay as a prisoner of war at Hilton Head Island. Interspersed with journal entries and sketches are notes on subjects such as military history, weaponry, the British Army, nitroglycerine, music and the tuning of musical instruments, heraldry, and Manigault family genealogy. A number of fine pencil or pen sketches depict boats, sailing vessels, soldiers of different historical periods, individuals, and coats of arms. Journal or diary entries chiefly concern the comings and goings of family members and friends, Manigault's health and medical treatments as he recovers from a war wound, and the sale of some land (at Awendaw and elsewhere). An entry for Feb. 3, 1866, notes the amount of direct tax paid on farmlands. The journal also contains notations on money borrowed, as well as personal accounts for purchases of food, fabric, and personal expenses and wages paid to servants.

Some final entries describe a battle on Feb. 10, 1865, in South Carolina, in which the Confederate line was located "between Grimball's & Rivers' causeways." Manigault gives details about the engagement, in which he was seriously wounded by a minie ball in his back. "Corp. Macbeth passed me immediately afterward; I told him hurry on, that I was mortally wounded." Manigault was soon captured. "Immediately men of the 54th N.Y. came up...I was in a moment despoiled of my watch, sword, pistol, and field-glass." Pencil drawings depict a soldier, a sailing vessel, parts of ships, and railroad cars and parts. Correspondence includes a letter (May 17, 1861) from Manigault to Gov. F.W.
