Collection contains miscellaneous public and private papers including personal letters from Tyler to his daughter, Elizabeth Tyler Waller; a letter concerning agriculture, particularly Tyler's experiments with a new variety of wheat; and a letter to his son, John Tyler, Jr., concerning William Cullen Bryant's "Evening Post" and Zachary Taylor. There are also notes of introduction to members of Congress from John Tyler, Jr., letters of Robert Tyler including a description of Va. politics during Reconstruction, and a printed circular (1844 June 27; 1 p.) to P.M. of Sag Harbor, N.Y. from N.M.
