Sub-series consists of numbered, circular, military, private and confidential despatches and enclosures to the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island from the Secretary of State for the Colonies (volumes 1 to 19). From 1851 through 1855 each volume is in three distinct sections: despatches from the Secretary of State, despatches from the Governor General and the British Minister at Washington and despatches and correspondence from provincial offices and private individuals (volumes 20 to 24). For the years 1856-1858 the latter two categories have been merged under the heading "Inter-colonial Despatches" (volumes 25 to 27) and from 1860 to 1873 each volume consists solely of despatches from the Colonial Office (volumes 28 to 42).
