Scope and content
Series consists of handwritten record keeping copies of Roberts' correspondence entered into bound letter books. Each book numbers approximately 250 pages. The predominant portion of the correspondence is with the New England Company. The main subjects of the correspondence include managing the mission's daily affairs, financial hardship and the current events in the local community. The letter books do not cover the years beyond 1897, there is very little concerning the Indian Affairs' residential school on Kuper Island; however, Roberts does comment on his relations with local indigenous communities.
