Custodial history
Scope and content
This series consists of primarily correspondence, financial papers, and legal documents created by or transmitted to Andrew Macdonald, spanning the years 1779 to 1832. The correspondence documents arrangements Andrew made for purchasing and/or leasing land in Prince Edward Island, tenant issues on his property, as well as business transactions with his sons and associates in England, Scotland, and Prince Edward Island. The financial papers include accounts with business in Scotland and England such as Ranald MacDonald, Saddler of Glasgow, and with his son Alex who appears to have been overseeing the property in Lot 8. Legal papers include memorandum of agreements for the purchase/lease of land and a notice of dissolution of the firm Andrew Macdonald and Sons dated 1822. Also included in this series are a diary which appears to document business transactions and travel in England and Scotland between 1 August 1823 and 6 June 1826 as well as a map and description of the 200 acres of property in Lot 52. The contents of this series are arranged in chronological order by the latest date in a particular document.
