The textual records have been divided into three series: Reverend John Bowles; Mrs. Joseph Bowles; and Mhairi A.M. de Castro (née Fenton).

In addition, fonds consists of a postally used cover on Hudson's Bay Company stationery, from Craig Harbour, N.W.T., addressed to C. Stuart McEwen Esq., M.D., Montréal, postmark dated 1937.

The cover also bears the manuscript notation "The most Northerly post in the British Empire. 76-12'N. 80-10'W.".

Also included in the fonds is a Hudson's Bay Company photo postcard addressed to Dr. C. Stuart McEwan, Montréal, depicting the R.M.S. "Nascopie" in the Arctic, ca. 1938. The illustration includes the printed inscription "H.M.S. "Nascopie" of the Hudson's Bay Company, goes North each year with mail and supplies for Arctic posts." The correspondence/address side of the card also contains one example of Scott #232 (2+ - 1937 King George VI definitive issue), tied by a partial strike of a "Craig, Harbour, N.W.T." circular date stamp dated "AM-AU 26-38" (the point of mailing) beside which is located a second complete strike of the same postmark. The postcard and cover were carried by the "Nascopie" from Craig Harbour to Montréal.

de Castro, Mhairi Angela MacLeod (née Fenton), 1918- : Mhairi Angela MacLeod Fenton was born 30 November 1918 in St. Andrew's, Scotland. She was the daughter of Alexander Fenton of New York and his wife Gladys (née Huntington). After the death of her mother, Mhairi Fenton made her home with her mother's sister Janet Evelyn Huntington, who had married her first cousin, Dr. Charles Stuart McEuen (d. 1956). She grew up in Scotland but lived in Canada after Dr. McEuen, a specialist in cancer research, took a post at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal.

Interest in the incidence of cancer among Eskimos led to Dr. McEuen's visiting the Arctic in the summer of 1937 with the Eastern Arctic Patrol of that year, aboard the R.M.S. Nascopie. The Officer in Charge and Government Representative in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was Major D.L. McKeand of the Lands, Parks and Forests Branch of the Department of Mines and Resources. Despite the reluctance of the Hudson's Bay Company to take women on the expedition that year, Dr. McEuen's insistence on taking his wife caused it to change its decision and Mhairi Fenton accompanied her aunt and uncle on the trip. In 1976, Miss Fenton married Henry M. de Castro of the U.S. Navy, with whom she made her home in Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa.
