Jackson provides details of the accident, and how he assisted in rescuing survivors from the Mississippi River. Other correspondence includes letters written by Sarah to Jackson and letters written to Sarah by her brother, John Throne. The letters written by Sarah generally describe news from home, her desire for the war to end and Jackson to return home, and news she has heard about the war. One letter (December 25, 1864) includes a poem she wrote expressing her love for Jackson. The letters from John Throne include descriptions of his unit's movements, daily life in the military, and his desire for the war to end so he could return home. One letter (November 18, 1864) states that he was arrested for disobeying orders and could not leave his quarters. Additional manuscripts include photocopies of biographical material and service records for members of the Thompson family, as well as photocopies of magazine articles which contain transcriptions of letters wrote by Jackson and Sarah.
