The second group consists of documents and correspondence concerning "The Sporting Magazine" including letters from contributors and readers, and legal documents regarding the financial confusion that followed Pittman's death. Major topics include fox hunting, fox hounds, hunting tours, racing horses and hunters, horse races, a German tour, John Loudon McAdam, Lord Derby, John Warde, Sir Bellingham Graham, Apperley's suggestions for improving the magazine's circulation, and his financial difficulties.
