Brief Description
(a) Letter Book. The first few pages contain an alphabetized list of who the letters were written to, the date, the order number of the letter within the book and the subject. The book contains blotting paper pages that are copies of the original letters. The letters relate to immigrant and emigrant issues. At the back of the book, many pages have been cut out.
(b) In the front of the book are some loose blue sheets that have been torn from another source and put in here, one of them is labelled Minute Book. Several are labelled Cancelled Nomination in Hawke's Bay in 1883 and 1884, these pages list: the nomination number; the first and surnames of both the nominees and the nominators; amount refunded; date sent to under secretary and remarks. As these categories go across a two-page spread, some lists are missing some of these categories. There are also two pages (double sided) of minutes from the proceedings of the Immigration Board assembled 23 October 1869.
(c) In the back of the book are several loose pages: four memorandums to the Immigration Officer at Napier dated 1875; one memorandum to the Immigration Officer at Napier dated 1876, and one letter from Matthew Tallboy dated 29 November 1875. All are regarding Mr Tallboy's request to receive land under the Immigrants Land Act.
