They include a railroad shpping agent's receipt book, a photograph of the Wood-Wertenbacker house on South Street, a catalogue of Westinghouse Street railway components, some printed religious material, and a paper, ca. 1889, apparently written by Valentine, outlining the plans of the Development Company of Charlottesville to sell lots on 182 acres between the city and the Woolen Mills.
