Series consists of private correspondence of Lord Selkirk and his executors relating to the Red River Settlement, 1280 pages. There are tables of contents for the eight volumes at the end of the film. Around 1893, Mr. John Hope prepared typescript copies of items from family holdings, including some groups later transcribed for the Public Archives. They were lent to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1938 and so escaped the fire of 1940. Sir Charles Hope-Dunbar permitted the company to microfilm the volumes before returning them in 1941.
