Ms copies of seven letters written by H. Harvey Jr. and three letters written by people in Melbourne.

Two letters, from Mrs. Kennison and J. Bell, describe Harvey's illness and death from "Colonial" fever. The last letter, of 20 pages, is from J.E. Howarth and relates mainly to Harvey's last days. Typescript copies of the letters are kept with the originals.
