The collection consists of correspondence, telegrams, reports, and printed material. Most of the correspondence is with General
Meade, Assistant Adjutant General Richard Drum, and the Bank of the Republic in New York. The letters by Ruger are drafts
with numerous corrections and describe his attempts as Governor to carry out the orders of General Meade. There is a letter
of parole from Jones on January 29, 1968 after his arrest and a letter from Jenkins on February 7, 1868 mentioning his possible
arrest.
After leaving office on July 4, 1868, Ruger sent reports to Governor Bullock and Richard Drum detailing his time as Governor
and the problems he encountered. There is also a report each from the Georgia Penitentiary and the Georgia School for the
Deaf stating some needs and expenses.
The printed material includes a "Report of the Treasurer of the State of Georgia" (1866), "Constitution of the State of Georgia
as passed by the Constitutional Convention" (1868), and order from headquarters of the Third Military District.
