Papers consist of correspondence (1834-1873), journals and notebooks (1836-1861), and miscellaneous items. Some letters of the 1830s (addressed to Manigault in Mobile, Ala.) concern legal matters, and include a letter (1835) from Nathaniel Heyward (1766-1851?) concerning an emancipated slave named Miley. Some letters of the 1840s have to do with the publication of a novel by Manigault entitled "Ellen Woodville." Letters of this period also concern the sale of Ogilvie's (an island plantation), family financial matters, and the estate of Manigault's father, who died in 1843. Ogilvie's was sold to Stephen D. Doar, "formerly an overseer." Some letters of the 1850s are addressed to Manigault's sister Anne M. Taylor and her husband T.H. Taylor and pertain to family estate matters. An undated letter of this period concerns the death of a female family member, most likely Manigault's mother Charlotte Drayton Manigault, who died in 1855. The letter describes her terminal illness, the religious comforts offered to her, and her spiritual condition.
Family papers, ca. 1750-1900, containing the personal, financial, and business papers of the Manigault family. Includes the correspondence of Peter Manigault, Gabriel Manigault, Joseph Manigault, Margaret I. Manigault, and others.
In a postscript, Charles requests that Louis arrange to purchase fabric to cloth African American slaves: "see at the Macon Manufactory of Cotton Stuffs if there is anything stout, & strong, of cotton, which would answer for a Spring Supply for the Negroes. The usual Cotton Stripes we give would answer, they cost then 10, & 11 cents pr yard. Now we would be glad to get that at 20 cents."
Miscellaneous items (1828-1856) include bonds; a "List of Negroes at Dusty Hill" (1823); memoranda (1816-1826) concerning operations at Saltponds [Plantation]; a statement (1831) concerning eight slaves (named) given to Charles D. Manigault by his father Joseph Manigault; and a prescription (1808) written for a slave named Bess. Estate records (1835-1861) include a copy of Joseph Manigault's will, receipts, and estate accounts and inventories. Many receipts pertain to payments made to and for Miss Henrietta A. Drayton (sister of Charlotte Drayton Manigault) by Gabriel Manigault, executor of the estate. There is also an estate account book (1843-1856) for the estates of Joseph and Charlotte Drayton Manigault.

Pickens asking the governor to authorize his brother Col.

McCrady for block and tackle. Miscellaneous items include Manigault's parole issued at Hilton Head, S.C., on May 10, 1865; and a copy of a letter (1908) from C.S. Gadsden to D.E.H.

Much of the narrative deals with operations at Manigault's plantation, Marshlands, located six miles from Charleston on the Cooper River; his attempts to recover stolen property, and complaints about the conduct of the freedmen. He criticizes the Federal officers, whose "principal characteristic... was that of theft," and in particular General Daniel Edgar Sickles, "sent to lord it over South Carolina." He also mentions his cousin General Edward Manigault, his son Gabriel Manigault, his cousin Heyward Manigault (of Adams Run, S.C.), and the fate of some Manigault family portraits and art work.
