Primarily three small notebooks bound together, including:

1) A notebook containing data on Dr. Thomas Walker (1715-1794), written by his great grandson Franklin Minor during and following interviews he had with Walker's grandchildren in 1853. A few annotations by Draper and letters he received from Minor in 1852-1853 accompany this notebook.

2) and 3) Two memoranda books containing Draper's rough indexes to references to Indian affairs in Virginia and Pennsylvania and to Tennessee and the Cherokee which he found in American State Papers.
