The collection consists of the grade book for a History and Appreciation of Music class taught by Amos S. Ebersole at Goshen College in 1921.

This memoir, entitled "Like Jacob, I Waited Seven Years, or Faint Heart Did Win Fair Lady," recounts Hostetler's courtship of Ida (Yoder) Nussbaum.  Hostetler's daughter, Dora Miller, recorded Hostetler's memoir in writing, as Hostetler himself frequently recited it as a story.
