Notice biographique

Neil McLeod (1853-1934) was born on the Isle of Skye, Scotland and followed his parents Roderick and Catherine to Prince Edward Island.

Mr. McLeod married Ada Ramsay (1867-1932) in 1886. She was considered an authority on the history of Summerside and wrote numerous articles about Prince Edward Island for newspapers and magazines.

Historique de la conservation

The letters are addressed to Neil and Ada McLeod's son William who went out to Dilke, Saskatchewan in 1909 to attend to family real estate. He married Alice Mortin in 1924 and passed the original handwritten letters down to his son Frank who had them transcribed in 1999. Frank McLeod sent copies to the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation, which in turn gave copies to the MacNaught History Centre and Archives.

Présentation du contenu

The collection consists of eighteen transcribed letters dated 1927 to 1934. The earliest letters were written by Neil and Ada McLeod to their son William and his wife Alice about their daily lives in Summerside as well as an account of a trip to England, Scotland, and continental Europe in 1928. There are also letters written by Neil following Ada's death and several letters written by William's brothers Neil, Norman, and Donald. Included with the letters are transcribed obituaries for both Neil and Ada McLeod and annotations about the family written by Frank McLeod.
