Seven ALS from James Darrach, a Philadelphia businessman, to his wife Eliza while on a business trip to New Orleans. Darrach travelled on horseback to Pittsburg and Louisville, and by boat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to Natchez and New Orleans, to acquire cotton and sugar which he shipped back to Pennsylvania. Darrach devotes the majority of his letters to lamenting his absence from his wife and family, and provides brief descriptions of the progress of his travel, hunting during the boat trips, acquiring meat from Indians, conducting his business, and witnessing the debauchery in New Orleans, "the Modern Sodom."

A group of thirty-nine autograph letters, signed, sent from James Dunn, a solicitor in Tolgus, Cornwall, to Samuel Percivall in Bath and Bristol, England, keeping him updated on the affairs concerning the Pendarves estate in Camborne, Cornwall. The letters contain many references to copper and tin mining at the Pendarves mines and elsewhere, as well as local news and gossip, reports on Pendarves House and its gardens, and on the activities of family and friends. Dunn acted as Percivall's agent and accountant, managing tenancies and looking after the library and wine cellar. There are also references to members of the Hoblyn family, including the politician and book collector Robert Hoblyn (1710-1756), who was the stepson of Grace Percivall's brother William Pendarves. While the letters were externally addressed to Samuel Percivall, internally their contents address both Samuel and Grace Percivall; some make references to the fossillary, or grotto, that Grace Percivall had created at Pendarves
