Letters, memos, meeting minutes, lists of students, lecture notes, receipts, accounts, circulars kept during his tenure as Professor and a diary.

Included are two pamphlets printed in reaction against the reorganization of the University: Alonzo Potter to J.R. Ingersoll and Henry Vethake to William M. Meredith. The Diary carries a journal of Potomac Survey in 1862.
