The collection consists of eight small manuscript notebooks attributed to Thomas Stephens; however, the author is unknown.
The entries are undated, but were kept during the early years of Georgia's settlement. The writings document the arguments
made by the Malcontents against the Georgia Trustees' administration of the colony. Notebooks contain handwritten entries,
in pencil with ink overlaid, regarding tariff, slavery, voyages, rum, and the condition of Georgia.
