The collection consists primarily of letters from Woolf to Saxon Sydney-Turner, a college roommate and friend. Thirty-eight letters date from Woolf's college days at Cambridge, twenty-two are from the period when Woolf served as a civil servant in Sri Lanka, and four letters date from the period after his return to England in 1911. One letter was written from Spain during his honeymoon with Virginia. Although most of the letters do not concern literary matters, there are two poems by Woolf in the collection: "2:30 A.M." and "To Ponamma."
