The papers include a typescript report (1940) by A. Murrill, mining engineer, on the Fishburn Price Mountain coal property in Montgomery County, Virginia, and a letter (1947) by Junias Blair Fishburn to John H. Jones of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the property. There is also a carbon copy of a letter describing the history of the property to an unknown party, which could be assumed to be the copy of a letter that was referenced in the previous letter to Jones.
