The fonds consists of letters written by Alexander Murray. The Hudson's Bay Company trader and explorer wrote an account of his travels down the Peel, Bell, Rat, Porcupine and Yukon Rivers in 1848. Along the Yukon he traded with the Indians and attempted to give them a better deal than the Russian traders. He lists the Indian tribes of the area and describes their customs, as well as provides translations of basic terms from their language into English. He describes the geography of the area around the Pelly and Lewis Rivers. A detailed daily meteorological journal is attached at the back. The Public Archives of Canada has published this manuscript as "Journal of the Yukon" by A. H. Murray (82/98). Alexander Murray wrote a number of letters to Donald Ross of Norway House. The letters are sent from 'Peels River', 'River Youcon' and Fort Simpson. In them, Murray describes his travels on several rivers, discusses the fur trade with the Indians and the competition he faces from Russian traders, bemoans his lack of adequate supplies, and describes, among other incidents, an Indian massacre. A note about how the B. C. Archives acquired these papers is included with the fonds (87/34). Also included is part of a hand written letter sent by Alexander Murray on the Peel River to Hudson's Bay Company Chief Factor, Murdoch McPherson, on May 16, 1847. The letter makes particular reference to the mismanagement of the Lapierre House Post by Edward McGillissay, and mentions the activity of the Russian Traders in that region (82/152).

The fonds consists of letters and a diary in manuscript format, "4th of July Creek: The Story of Alfred G. McMichael's Trip to Alaska During the Gold Rush of 1898". The original pages were transcribed by Juliette C. Reinicker who also wrote an introduction and conclusion. Many of the letters are written to Clara Arthur. His letters are very descriptive and cover his trip to the north, the hike along the Chilkoot Trail and over the Pass, an avalanche above Sheep Camp, the people on the trail, the gambling, the weather, and the struggles of moving their gear. McMichael arrived in Dawson City June 19, 1898 and describes the physical appearance of the town including the buildings, streets, cabins, gambling and dance houses. On June 25th he and several men decided to go down the Yukon River to stake a claim and he writes about the scenery along the way, the people, including Sam Patch and a Mrs. Woods, and the town of Forty Mile. The group arrived at Fourth of July Creek on July 11th and began prospecting and mining. In February 1899, McMichael was diagnosed with heart trouble and decided to leave the north. His diary is a record of his trip from Dawson City to Whitehorse on a winter trail that followed much of the Yukon River. He travelled with a dog team and rested at 28 "stopping spots" along the way. McMichael describes his arrival in Whitehorse on March 18th and Skagway March 23rd, and his trip down the coast to Seattle.
