There are also numerous letters from Peter to his children Anna (Van Wagner) Hamilton (ca. 1885-1901); Mary (Van Wagner) Spohn (ca. 1870-1892); and Henry P. Van Wagner while he was at the School of Gunnery in Kingston (1879). There are also a large number of letters from Mary (Van Wagner) Spohn to her father, Peter (1850s - 1890s) including descriptions of her life in Texas. Finally, Henry P.

Photographs relating to Mary (Van Wagner) Spohn include photographs which are American in origin. Many but by no means all of the photographs are identified. There are also loose b/w prints including portraits and scenes of country life. Also found are two albums of amateur photography dating from around 1890 - 1910. The photographs are not identified, but depict life at the family farm in Stoney Creek. They include portraits, scenes of family life (at the beach, riding horses etc.), views of the countryside, and a few school scenes. Also included are some shots of women sketching, painting, and visiting with a few scenes relating to fruit farming. A watercolour of Edith Van Wagner as a young child is also included. The Hamilton family photographs include cabinet cards and other b/w prints showing the Hamilton family and their friends and relatives from the 1870s to 1880s.

The miscellaneous images consist of a wide range of photographs of the Van Wagner and Hamilton extended families in different formats and sizes. Many of the photographs are unidentified. Most are portraits and country scenes. The daguerr갴ypes and ambrotypes are in somewhat poor condition. A leather-bound legal volume and recipe book, originally written in English chancery hand, dating to the early-17th century. Although highly difficult to read, especially due to the bleed-through of the iron gall ink from the opposite side of the pages, it appears to be of land indentures and conveyances. The later blank pages in the book were used, probably by members of the Hamilton family (the provenance of the volume has been lost to time) to copy a large number of recipes for foodstuff and household products.

Fonds includes correspondence with mining companies, prospectors, landowners and officials in the Ministries of Natural Resources and Northern Development and Mines; notes; legal agreements (including partnerships and land claims); press clippings; publications; reports; annotated maps (some hand-drawn); and aerial photographs.
