This collection consists of letters written by George Walton, a letter written to George Walton, and an incomplete biographical sketch. Included is a letter from Walton to Robert Morris, 1778, in which Walton tells Morris he cannot follow his advice and quit public office. He congratulates Morris upon the capture of British warships and inquires after Morris' wife and family. The second item in the collection consists of an envelope addressed to David Zubly and Joseph Nicholson, 1785, that includes a note that it is to be opened at the examination of William Moss. The third letter is written from James M. Simmons to Walton, 1789. In the letter, which includes an enclosure, Simmons writes that the enclosed is a determination of the Board of Trustees of Richmond Academy for consideration by the state legislature in Augusta. The enclosure is an extract from the proceedings of the Board of Commissioners of the Trustees of Richmond Academy requesting that, the church being completed, the governor appoint a day for St. Pauls Parish to choose vestrymen in order that a clergyman may be appointed and church worship regulated. The last letter recommends James Kidd for reappointment as tobacco cooper. Also included in the collection is a biographical sketch of George Walton prepared for Sanderson's Lives of the Signers, IV, 151; the first four pages are missing.
