·
1813-1835
Fonds consists of letters received by Archibald, mainly concerning political affairs or seeking legal opinions, together with legal documents including briefs, dockets, and a bill for the establishment of schools in Nova Scotia. Of special interest is a letter from John Young (aka “Agricola”), dated at Halifax, July 19, 1819, discussing a bill before the house which dealt with agricultural societies, and Young’s suggested revisions. He also has news of the formation of agricultural societies at Yarmouth and elsewhere.
