Series includes letters from Macdonald's son, Hugh John and from other family members. The majority of letters in the series come from other persons, some prominent, others not.

The series also includes a few letters to and from Thomas D'Arcy McGee. The letters touch on such subjects as marriage, honours, membership in the Freemasons and remedies for illness.
