The papers contain letters, Bible records, genealogical notes, photographs and miscellaneous documents pertaining chiefly to the Warren family and other descendants of Robert Nimmo, emigrant from Falkirk, Scotland. Of interest are letters written from Japan describing American missionaries and their work, together with an account of missionary life in Japan, ca. 1899-1900, possibly by the Reverend James Chapman. This collection includes discussion of the daily lives of several women in the Warren family. Letters mention domestic duties, church duties, Episcopal High School and the Virginia Theological Seminary, illnesses and deaths, social events, and Richmond in July of 1865. There is a brief mention of the Richmond earthquake of August 1886. Bible records note the births of two slaves, 1862, 1864. Correspondents include Fannie H. Brown, Charles Duy Walker, Mary Nimmo Walker Dame, Lilly Archer Warren Ellis, Andrew Fisher, Margaret Fisher Warren Ranson, Edward Warren, Edward J. Warren, Margaret Jane Fisher Walker, Jeanette Fisher Warren, Jeanette Warren, Laura Warren and Isaaac K. Yokoyama.
