Letters written by Rev. Wilkins and his wife to members of their family. Most of the letters are dated from "West Chester" (New York) and addressed to his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Burns, and her husband, Dr. Burns, at Borden Town, N.J. and later at Philadelphia, Pa. They deal with family and personal affairs, daily life, clerical activities, travel, and paternal advice.

The papers supplement the diaries of John Dod Ward, vice president of the Morris Canal & Boat Company
