Two manuscript volumes attributed to Reverend John Warly; included are biblical passages, sermon notes, and commentaries on spiritual matters and political subjects including the English Civil War. Entries are in secretary hand, primarily in English with a small amount of Greek. The volumes are signed by Lee Warly, a descendant of John Warly; both volumes are written in two directions with the text beginning at one cover then turned over and beginning again (tête-bêche style). The volumes have worn leather covers and fragile spines, HM 83773 is especially fragile with the spine mostly lacking and the pages loose; the volumes are housed in one box for preservation purposes.

The bulk of the collection centers on Scherer's work with the Council of National Defense during the First World War. There are two and half boxes of documents which had been previously collected in two large volumes. The original arrangement (by date) has been retained for both collections (labeled "Bulletins" and "General Letters," respectively) in cataloged form. The "General Letters" collection is the most extensive; it comprises the entirety of Box 2 and the first half of Box 3. In some cases - due to the similarity of their subject material - two or more consecutive listings in the index have been cataloged together in one folder. There are two smaller collections labeled "Noteworthy Activities Undertaken by State Councils" and "I.C.A. Circulars." These two smaller document collections have their own folders in Box 3. All four contain an index - those for the two still-bound collections list the bulletins in the reverse order of their appearance. The two large volumes have been cataloged in the order listed in their indexes.
