Personal Letters

There is a tremendous collection of letters to be transcribed, but with the backlog of material I have on hand, it will be a while before they appear here.

For a complete listing of all articles and documents visit the document main page.

R. Bell to Alex Stewart, 1858
	Includes photograph of envelope.
Albert Bennett to David Bennett, 1891 Updated March 27, 2000
	Albert writes to his family in Almonte.
Dick Family Letters Added March 13, 2000
	These letters are by brothers John, James and Robert Dick. The first three are to an unknown uncle in Scotland, written in 1821, 1822, and 1825. These interesting letters detail the struggle of the Dick family to establish a farm near Lanark and to eventually make themselves comfortable. An 1887 letter written by Robert, describes an entirely different world. Surnames include: ADAMS, ANDERSON, BARTLETT, BELL, BRICE, BROWN, BROWNLEE, BRYCE, CAMPBELL, DICK, DUNCAN, FERGUSON, JOHNSTON, KIDD, MARSHALL, McFARLAND, MUIR, MUNGAL, OLIVER, SCOBBIE, SHAIRP, SMITH, STEAD, WALKER, WALLACE, WEIR, WILSON, YOUNG.
