Scope and content
File contains letters written to his "Guv'nor" from Bob, Archie Leighton's older brother. The letters are written from the northern coast of British Columbia and the Queen Charlotte Islands, where Bob moved from Vancouver to seek work and was variously employed clearing bush, fish packing and mining. In his letter of October 1, 1914, he writes of reaching Prince Rupert to find it "full of broken men, many of them actually starving."
