Included in the booklet are mentions of "Book No. 1" and "Book No. 2," presumably other account books, and there are notes in which Vaill clarifies certain details in those books with information included in this booklet. Details provided include donor names, amounts of subscriptions, notes on donors or their subscriptions such as when he can call on a subscriber again, and often the residence of donors. In a note on the back of the booklet Vaill states that there is little hope of making up their subscription fund unless the times become more favorable. The information in the booklet likely pertains to the one hundred thousand dollar subscription fund.

The records included in the book are labeled by class year and provide tables with columns for the names of beneficiaries along with amounts (presumably the amount of financial aid they received from the Charity Fund), their occupation, year of death, and any additional remarks.

Cheney to Mr. Seelye (presumably Julius Hawley Seelye) regarding a booklet of subscription records from Boston subscribers.
