Scope and content

Reproductions of letters sent from Western Canada, mainly from Manitoba, to Liverpool by Wad Clarke, evidently an army officer. The letters are mostly addressed to his mother, and some to various family members. Kerby A. Miller was unable to establish if the author was Irish and so did not pursue researching the letters.
