The series is arranged chronologically and consists largely of letters sent and received during Donaldson's time at the Florida State Hospital. The correspondence documents the relationships between Donaldson and his family and his attempts to obtain his release from the hospital. Of particular value is Donaldson's correspondence with George Stallings, a Florida State Representative who took an interest in Donaldson's case, and with Morton Birnbaum and Bruce Ennis, the lawyers who worked on the case and presented it before the Supreme Court.
