Chiefly correspondence, mostly written to or by Mary Bonner Havens. Topics include health concerns; 1843 rumors of an upcoming duel; social encounters; romantic entanglements; political sympathies; travel experiences; daily life in Washington, N.C., and Portsmouth, N.C., where Mary Havens and her children often stayed for health reasons; and George Bonner's studies at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Other materials include an 1839 account of expenses from a trip to Massachusetts; newspaper clippings; a photocopy of a Macon, Ga., slave auction notice; and what appears to be a draft of a marriage proposal.
