Series consists of outgoing correspondence, telegrams, legal documents, memoranda and financial reports generated in official railroad offices by Hill and others. The first 21 volumes (reels M-8108 to M-8124) consist mostly of letters written by Hill and his secretaries. They are divided into four subseries: the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway; the Great Northern Railway; the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway: telegrams; and the Canadian Pacific Railway. The remaining volumes consist of six subseries of correspondence and documents authored by persons other than Hill, including Jesse P. Farley, R.B. Angus, Henry D. Minot and Allan Manvell.

Most of the material relating to Canada in this series is found in the first 21 volumes, particularly the early volumes and volume 21 (Canadian Pacific Railway). Prominent Canadian correspondents include R.B. Angus, George Drummond, Joseph Hickson, Hon. William McDougall, William Mackenzie, Duncan McIntyre, Collingwood Schreiber, Donald A. Smith, George Stephen and William Van Horne. Among numerous addressees in Winnipeg are J.H. Ashdown A.G.B. Bannatyne, Alexander Begg, Col. F. de Winton, George W. Girdlestone, E.V. Holcombe, John C. McKenzie, J.H. McTavish, Rev. Alfred J. Pinkham, Thomas D. Rosser, A.B. Stickney and Charles R. Tuttle.
