Scope and content
One letterbook belonging to William McDonald of Georgetown, Prince Edward Island. The letterbook contains handwritten copies of the correspondence sent by Mr. McDonald in his role as Superintendent of Public Works for King's County. Repairs to roads, buildings, wharves, and bridges are mentioned in the letters. In 1891, the letterbook was used as a scrapbook, so newspaper articles and other miscellanea from that year are pasted over top of about three-quarters of the pages. The letterbook is in very poor condition, with significant water damage.
