Miscellaneous papers, chiefly official documents and correspondence related to McDermott's career, particularly his military service. Included are orders, appointments, commissions, reports, requests and bills for medical supplies, and correspondence. The papers contain a report on the examination and treatment of those wounded at the Battle of the Wilderness, and a letter to his father describing the aftermath of the Battle of Cold Harbor and the Siege of Petersburg. There are also McDermott's credentials, his Masonic diplomas and correspondence, passports, certificates, and other documents. Also included are poems and an essay on the history of the City University of New York, written by McDermott, as well as, scattered family records, some daguerreotype portraits, an 1873 notebook containing formulas for medicines kept by Dr. John B. Crosby, and a petition signed by "Her Majesty's Protestant subjects" of St. John, New Brunswick, about a ban on secret societies, which was allegedly sought by "Roman Catholics" in order to "prevent Protestants meeting together to hold loyal associations," dated 1844.
