Four of the six letters are written by A. E. Heald and are addressed to his mother and sister. In his letters, which are written from Missoula, Montana and Evanston, Wyoming, Heald talks about working in the freight business, local coal mines as well as going to Ogden, Utah and witnessing Mormons celebrating Mormon Pioneer Day. The other two letters are written by a family member, A. D. Heald, and a family friend, Lucinda Thursten. The letter by A. D. Heald is written from Humbug, California, a mining town. In the letter he talks about mining, money that is due to him and his desire to leave California and return home. The letter by Lucinda Thursten is written from Plainview, Minnesota. In the letter she talks about the growth of the town, the agriculture of the area and the ill-health of her husband.

The collection consists of letters, photographs and clippings related to the life and political career of William Gibbs McAdoo. Much of the McAdoo correspondence deals with his public appearances and engagements as a U.S. senator and also his failed attempt at re-election in 1938. Also of interest is McAdoo's involvement with the first Pan-American flight in 1936 and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's campaign trip to California in July 1938. There are also materials related to McAdoo's involvement with the Liberty Bond Act during World War I and the construction and management of the Hudson River Tunnels.
