The correspondence mostly concerns raising funds for the University of New Mexico at Santa Fe, and contains letters in support of Indian education, including some from President Grover Cleveland. There are clippings about the Ramona Industrial Girls' School and description and travel in the Southwest. The collection also contains a handwritten notebook of 550 words in Apache and Navajo with some English equivalents, Ladd's notes for lectures on the education work in Santa Fe, and publications such as the 5th (1885-1886) and 6th(1886-1887) annual catalogues of the University of New Mexico at Santa Fe and the annual financial statement of the University for June 15, 1885 to August 16, 1886.
