This collection consists of an unpublished 1992 manuscript, The Johnny Mercer Chesterfield Music Shop, a revision of the discography by Harry Mackenzie that was published in 1986.

The manuscript contains a short introductory section; a cost sheet; a table of wax information on the AFRS recordings; a program log from 12 June to 8 December 1944; final comments; a guest index; and a title index. In addition, two articles on Johnny Mercer's Music Shop and copies of the disc labels for two of the programs are included at the conclusion of the manuscript.
