Cases discuss, among other things, illegitmate births, an abortion, and conversions. Other passages concern his youth, involvement in a duel, the surrender of Fort Sumter, and Yates' medical operation for the removal of a tumor at the age of nineteen. Included are a few printed pages (1828) from a medical journal concerning Yate's operation.
