Letters concerning classical studies and Trinity College business and social life, with a small group of printed material and testimonials. Some letters have explicatory notes by Florence Image, and almost 40 letters are from Henry Jackson. Other correspondents with several letters each are from or relating to: H. M. Butler (some to Florence Image), A. V. Verrall, W. Aldis Wright, W. H. Thompson, Duncan Crookes Tovey and other members of his family, J. G. Frazer, J. N. Dalton, and J. W. L. Glaisher; for other correspondents see names below. Some of the letters are by Image himself to various correspondents.

The printed items are: an unsigned printed letter opposing the education of choristers (a parody) dated 1877; a Greek text with an English translation, Fragmentum incerti ex Hēthikophysikolērois mocking the new Triposes, with a date of 20 Oct. 1848 written at the top of the first page ; comedic verses about Thomas Huxley in English and Greek; two notices about the non-placeting of the Grace for the Duke of York's degree in 1894; and a Latin poem about Como, a toy belonging to the Butler children James, Gordon, and Nevile, by Montagu Butler, dated April 1897. A small group of testimonials at the end of the collection were written in support of Image's candidacy to become Undermaster of the Upper School of Dulwich College in 1869.
