About half of the collection consists of nineteenth-century family and personal correspondence of members of the Bulloch family of Georgia with relatives and friends in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and at Washington, D.C., Newport, R.I., Saratoga, N.Y., and New York City, and of the Lockes while they were in Europe in the 1850s. Beginning in 1888 the papers are chiefly the genealogical correspondence and notes of Dr. J. G. B. Bulloch.
