Chiefly letters addressed to Captain Callcott Chambre at his house in Lambeth near Fox Hall on the south bank of the Thames, at Charing Cross or the Strand, or no address; one letter addressed to George Chambre (probably a brother of Callcott Chambre), Black and White Court, London, from his cousin, ----- Meath); and one to Mr. Henry Martin, who may have been a Chambre cousin. The letters were written chiefly by Callcott Chambre's wife Kathren. The other correspondents--J. Labie (?), William Newman, Thomas Ward (?), ----- Meath, and Judeth (sister of Callcott and George Chambre)--appear to have been personal friends or kinsmen. The letters seem to be concerned with personal and family matters and business arrangements within the circle of family and friends. One of the letters (signature missing) was written aboard the "Alice and Frances."
