The collection consists almost entirely of letters from Philip Thicknesse to his friend John Cooke of Monmouthshire. Subject matter includes Thicknesse's family life and relations with his wives and children; business and estate affairs, including his lawsuits, management of his Monmouthshire farm at Quoitca, and his houses at Bath; life and society in Bath; travel on the Continent, particularly in France and Spain from 1775 to 1777, and in Belgium in 1782. There are a few references to his own writings and to Thomas Gainsborough.
