The collection includes approximately 450 letters, most of them written by or to Frederick and Anna. The letters are significant for their descriptions of Worcester social life, school days, and family affairs.

Also included are three journals kept by Frederick while he traveled, May to October 1847, January 1849 to February 1850, and February to July 1850. All reflect his sightseeing activities, political interests, and conversations and acquaintances.
