The arrangement is roughly in 'Centuries' of papers, as they reached Walker, and the majority of them are letters addressed to him or to his London agent, Robert Clavell, but many original papers and copies by Walker are interspersed.

Resembles MS. J. Walker c. 5, with (fol. 70) some papers about dr. Geo. Webbe, bp. of Limerick, and (fol. 198) a few Scotch documents.
