The first section records the names and ages of the enslaved children born on the plantation and the names of their parents. The second half of the book, which appears upside down as the book was flipped for a new section, records the weather conditions, crop farming and the tasks completed by the slaves. The loose papers record the names of the enslaved people, slaves divided and allotted to Henry, Thomas, Rene and William Ravenel, the number of male and female slaves and a note to sell a family of slaves with their names and ages.

This document conveys an ownership in trust of "certain coloured children" of William Remley to several individuals emancipating them. Remley expresses his desire that the children "enjoy all the privileges of free persons," and the deed directs that they should be taken to a "non-slave holding state" should anyone attemp to enslave them. The slaves are listed as Elizabeth, Catharine, Ann, Eliza, Cinda and Harriott.
