The collection primarily is comprised of correspondence relating to Patrick's research interests, particularly Florida and Southern history, the publication of his books and articles, his activities with the Florida Historical Society and the editing of the Florida Historical Quarterly. Many of Patrick's correspondents are prominent Florida historians active in the 1940s through the 1960s, such as Julien C. Yonge, Samuel Proctor, Charlton W. Tebeau, Dena Snodgrass, John M. Goggin, Mark F. Boyd, Dorothy Dodd, Herbert J. Doherty, Arthur W. Thompson and Albert Manucy. Two folders of correspondence pertain to Patrick's service as a member of the Florida Civil War Centennial Commission. The collection also includes biographical materials such as news clippings and obituaries, typescripts and reprints of his articles, speeches, photographs, and the typescript for an unpublished novel.
