Included are the papers of James Petigru Lesesne (1848-1892) and Charles Richardson Miles (b. 1829). Financial records include account books containing Mazyck's personal and household accounts as well as accounts for his salary and fees as Librarian of the Charleston Library Society and for his legal work for clients; and receipts (1899-1903) for salary disbursements for College of Charleston employees. Papers pertaining to St. Philip's (Episcopal) Church include a letterpress copybook (1900-1914) containing letters from Mazyck regarding church finances, and an account book (1908-1913) for pew rent, salaries, and other income and expenditures. There are additional church financial records contained in other volumes. Papers (1840-1877) regarding the Carolina Rifle Club (later a state militia battalion) include lists of members and rallying points, records of team shooting, correspondence with officers, orders, and other items. Correspondence (1877-1914) in fifteen letterpress copybooks chiefly consists of Mazyck's letters to his partner William St. Julien Jervey and others regarding civil law cases, property transactions, estates, timber rights, and other legal affairs, but also letters (1888-1889) to Lyman C. Draper concerning historical manuscripts of South Carolina, accounts (1885-1886) of Mazyck as treasurer of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina, and letters (1897-1905) from Mazyck regarding affairs of the College of Charleston Board of Trustees. Four letterpress copybooks (1889-1914) contain legal documents and other papers pertaining to real estate transactions, phosphate mining in Berkeley County (S.C.), the estate of Charles R. Miles, and other matters. Three letterpress copybooks (ca. 1882-1913) contain abstracts of title to properties in Charleston and Berkeley counties. Other items include a plat (n.d.) of Wraggsborough (Charleston, S.C.); notes (ca. 1875-1910) on South Carolina laws, courts, religion, government, and counties; and notes and articles (ca. 1880) written or collected by Mazyck for his book "Charleston in 1883."
