The fonds consists of dispatches from the United States Consulate in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, from 1857 to 1906. The majority of this is correspondence between the Consuls in Charlottetown to the Secretary of State in Washington, D.C. Topics in the correspondence included detailed descriptions of PEI, requests to increase business in rural PEI ports, conflicts over fishing boundaries, and politics of the day revolving around such events as the Treaty of Washington in 1871. Also included are a list of arrivals and departures of American Vessels from PEI (1847-1859), a record of treasury fees for 1858, the imports and exports for PEI for 1860-1861, and the shipping records for 1859-1861.

Although not a prime destination for the emigrants and disbanded soldiers fleeing America in the aftermath of the revolution, approximately 550 (encouraged by the Island government's offer of land) did settle on Prince Edward Island. 315 land grants were made to the Loyalists, however, most of the land granted was disputed property. By 1790 half of those granted land had left the Island. Despite numerous attempts to settle the Loyalist land claims the issue was not resolved until 1860 by the Land Commission with an acknowledgment of injustice and of the impracticality of the allotting of land to the numerous descendants of the Loyalists. The Island Loyalists represented a cross-section of late-eighteenth century society - most were farmers, fishermen and tradesmen; there were also merchant businessmen and professionals. A few also went on to hold political offices (such as Edmund Fanning, who served as Lieutenant Governor from 1786 to 1805).

This fonds consists of a microfilm copy of primarily government documents which may contain information pertaining to the Loyalists: Lieutenant Governor's Letter Books, Collector of Customs Letter Books, Impost ledgers, shipping records, Commission Books, Supreme Court minutes, Judgment Books, Quit Rent and Land Tax Books and the Smith-Alley papers.
