Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk fonds

  • CA PCA Acc2690
  • Fonds
  • 1803

The fonds consists of six original letters written by Thomas Douglas to Reverend Angus McAulay, the Earl of Selkirk's representative in Prince Edward Island, in 1803. The first letter, dated in March of that year, was addressed from Dumfries, Scotland, and the letters that follow were written from Charlottetown. All of the correspondence concerns the settlement of the Belfast area. Also included in the fonds are photocopies and typed transcripts of the letters, as well as a print of a Jackdaw portrait of Lord Selkirk, taken from an unidentified published document, [before 1970].
