Draper correspondence and notes, accompanied by several clipped or transcribed biographical articles about Brant. Opening the volume is a page of fragmentary notes outlining Draper's introduction for his biography.

Several major topics are covered by more detailed notes and letters: Brant's ancestry and his relationship to other eighteenth-century Mohawk chiefs, especially Old Abraham, Little Abraham, Hendrick (known as King Hendrick), and Nicoles (known as Nickus Brant); Brant's boyhood and education prior to 1763; his sister Mary, customarily known as Molly; his third wife Catharine Croghan; and his later protégé, John Norton. A few notes and articles concern the broader subject of Indian education under the auspices of Christian mission schools.

Among the printed articles are several wood engravings: portraits of four chiefs of the Six Nations who visited London in 1710 (accompanied by copies of their pictographic signatures and by a ballad inspired by the event); a portrait of Brant (based on the painting by Romney); and a sketch of the Mohawk church near Brantford, Ontario.
