Much of the content of these letters pertains to information regarding the activities of friends and relatives, with the surnames Warner, Wharton, Wood, Barker, Harrington, and Jenkins among those recurring. He wrote about agricultural matters and his own legal work, including developments in jurisprudence and the prohibition issue. The letters are filled with great detail, color, and wit, and are very revealing of the life of his family, as well as his own Quaker sensibilities. As the letters are written on pages numbered from 6 to 29 and 43 to 74, it is likely that he had written at least one previous letter, and perhaps subsequent letters, which are no longer extant. It is not clear when Hunn returned from Europe, but from the tone of the first few letters it must have been only shortly before he began writing.
Page numbers refer to the numbers which appear on each leaf in the collection.
