The collection consists of letters which shed light on the activities and social life of the Countess of Suffolk and her circle. Included are an anonymous but purportedly first-hand account of the alleged murder of Samuel Molyneux by the physician Nathaniel St. Andre, and Sir Walter Scott's autograph review of the 1824 edition of the publication of the Countess's letters.
