Included are Draper notes and correspondence about Hamilton, transcripts of Hamilton papers mainly from the Archives of Canada in Ottawa and the Public Record Office in London and a few original Hamilton documents purchased by Draper from a dealer in 1857. A copy of Hamilton's journal of his Vincennes expedition in 1778 Draper made from a copy in William Clark's handwriting found among papers, of Anthony Wayne in private ownership.
