*1 — 2020 – The date here is uncertain. The letter was included with the 1888–89 collection, mixed in the beginning of the 1888 letters. It appears Peter returned to Victoria from N.Y. in early 1888, and so it makes sense that this letter may be from 1887.
This collection of letters has been digitized from an earlier transcription project and is for informational purposes only. This transcription has not been verified against the originals. Researchers interested in these letters should consult the original documents housed at the BC Archives.
