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.
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."
