The fonds consists of a photograph of Stanley William Bird, and three letters which he wrote to his sister and father in 1918. The first letter, dated June 10th, is addressed to Peg and contains the words to the song "Prairieland" as well as the poem, "How". He mentions subjects in which Peg was probably interested (birds' eggs, what the houses look like, and how all the men look like cowboys), and tells her that she can keep his pony Nell, "a little white mare with brown ears". The second letter, dated June 27th, talks about the murders of seven men in June 1918, and is a good measurement of the rumours and assumptions made at the time about the money, the perpetrators, and the victims. This letter also describes the wildlife in the area (wild horses, beaver, moose, bear, silver and cross foxes, timber wolf), the remnants of the Klondike Trail which is also the pack trail from Prairie City to Pouce Coupe, and looks forward to the July 1 Sports Day when "all the Indians in the country will be there". The third letter, dated July 11th, gives the "latest news" which is that the number of men murdered has increased to thirteen. He also mentions that he is making $70.00 per month working on a steam plowing outfit, and that he is going hunting with an Indian man named Wi-kit-sis.
