The collection contains business correspondence (outgoing and incoming) from noted persons including Henry W. Corbett, Zenas F. Moody, James W. Nesmith, Sylvester Pennoyer, and George E. Chamberlain. Additional business papers document Hill's legal practice in Oregon and California, including cases involving Indian war claims, the Oregon Central Railroad, and the Lownsdale estate. The family papers are primarily a collection of letters and memorabilia of Hill's wife, Julia Chandler Hill (1844-1932), her parents, Persis Warren Heald Chandler (1814-1906) and George Clinton Chandler (1807-1881), her children, Edward Coke Hill (1866-1961) and his wife Ella "Billie" Wilson Hill (1877-1962), Margaret Hill Smith (1877-1973), Reuben Chandler Hill, and Heald William Lair Hill.
