The correspondence in the series is grouped into a file for each family member represented - usually the creation of the letters, though some files also contain letters they received.

Many of the letters in this series contain interesting information about the price and availability of various goods, especially wheat, rum, sugar, and molasses.

The letters in the series are grouped by intervals of 5 or 10 years into files of roughly similar size: 1770s (Correspondence, 1771-1776), 1780s (Correspondence, 1781-1789), the first half of the 1790s (Correspondence, 1790-1795), and the second half of the 1790s (Correspondence, 1795-1800).

Fish

The series consists of 31 watercolour paintings of fish, created while Elizabeth Gwillim and Mary Symonds were living in Madras, India (modern-day Chennai). The paintings are preceded by an introductory page of notes by Casey A. Wood. The paintings were originally attributed to Gwillim by Wood, largely on the basis of handwriting, but have more recently been tentatively attributed to Mary Symonds approximately around the year 1805 on the basis of information found in the sisters' correspondence. The fishes depicted are identified by a handwritten caption in the margin of each painting. Approximately one third of the paintings also feature an additional caption written in an Urdu script. These paintings may be copies of Symonds' originals created by a local artist in India. Item 30 (Crocodilus palustris) also contains additional manuscript notes.
