The papers consist of nine items, mostly letters written by Aaron Burr (1756-1836), dating from 1755-1833. Burr's correspondence largely deals with business matters, particularly lawsuits he is involved in, his finances, and a railroad venture. It includes a letter written by Aaron Burr (1716-1757) referring to money for the College of New Jersey, a letter written by Joseph Shippen describing the college president's sudden marriage, and letters by Harman Blennerhassett, Burr's co-conspirator; George Hay, the man who prosecuted Burr for treason; and Matthew Livingston Davis, Burr's biographer. The papers also contain a cipher written or used by Aaron Burr (1756-1836) to encode messages during his western travels, and notes written by David A. Hayes on a portrait of Aaron Burr (1716-1757).
