The collection consists mostly of correspondence of the Roberts family and to a smaller extent of the Wentworth family. The majority of the letters was written during the Civil War by William Jay Roberts to his sister and mother and by George B. Wentworth to his wife. There are also letters written by Roberts' sister Jennette as well as by Wentworth's son and daughter-in-law. In addition to the correspondence there are also a few items of memorabilia, including William Jay Roberts' diary for 1861 and a record book of Company I of the 8th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteers containing entries by several officers as well as letters and field orders and other miscellaneous military documents related to William Jay Roberts.
