The collection consists of a common-place book (1848- ), two record books (1856-1859), two lesson books, and a sermon book. Bonnell's common-place book contains excerpts from literature read, thoughts on classical and theological questions, and notes. The record books contain a list of pupils at Tuscaloosa Methodist Female High School (1856-1857) and a list of the faculties of the Methodist Schools (1858-1859; later used by J.F. Bonnell). The sermon book also contains a draft of a letter refusing to allow Wesleyan Female College to be used as a Confederate Hospital (ca. 1864).
