The collection consists of a folded sheet of paper, with two popular Scottish ballads handwritten in English and German. The first is titled Nanny, a favourite song, a version of O, Nanny, wilt thou gang with me, attributed to Thomas Carter, written in the late 18th century. The German translation has the title, Nanny, ein Leiblings lied. Also, beginning on p. 2, with the title An other song with music from our celebrated Master, Mr. Beethoven, actually a version of Robert Burns' Behold my love, how green the groves, composed in 1794. The tune Burns used is a little-known Beethoven air, with the popular title, My lodging is on the cold ground. The German title is given as, Ein ander Lied von unsem gefeyerten Meister, Herr Beethoven, componist.
