The reel begins with a continuation of Straight's personal manuscripts, translations and verse. The greater part of the reel is made up of copies of documents and printed memoranda and agreements relating to his work in Seoul, Mukden, and Peking, beginning with trade and customs in Korea and Manchuria and followed by various railway agreements and loan proposals for Chinese currency reform and reorganization. The reel ends with bound material, printed copies of Straight speeches about the loan negotiations and bound manuscript material relating to his study of the Chinese language.
