Scope and content
The foreign letters are a combination of solicited and unsolicited correspondence from their suppliers. These documents are a testament to the short supply of raw materials facing Canadian manufactures during World War I and the steep price increases for these products. Some of these letters express patriotic feelings about supporting Canada in the war.
