Wallace to his wife Annie, children William and Violet, father-in-law William Mitten and sister Fanny (Mrs Sims) from the USA, 1886-1887, some with original envelopes, one with enclosed press cuttings; sketch map of Niagara Falls probably an enclosure to a letter to Violet; 5 small envelopes of press cuttings from American and Canadian Newspapers, and one rough note. Many letters and press cuttings contain passages underlined or marked in red or blue pencil. Place: USA Canada Notes: Pieces were out of date sequence but with no obvious logical arrangement and have been placed in date order. Letters have been briefly listed but NOT yet all read for content . The letters were wrapped in part of a 1916 envelope addressed to WGW and a torn sheet of paper partly printed with local council minutes, both annotated; these have been transferred to more appropriate series.
