Part of James Anderson fonds
The file consists of original correspondence written by James Anderson between 1846 and 1849 during his time at Lake Nipigon. The letters are personal in nature and are addressed to his brother, assumed to be Alexander Caulfield Anderson. The earliest pieces of correspondence predate Anderson's 1847 promotion to Chief Trader, and document his disappointment at being passed over for promotion. The letters contain references to events affecting other HBC personnel, including the 1845 suicide of William Glen Rae.
