Kent's letters discuss World War I, and the characteristics of the British and German people; and mention the German Relief Fund, suspicions that Kent is a German spy and that the police are intercepting his mail. He also discusses life in Newfoundland, money owed, and financial hardship; Impressionism, Cubism, and Futurism; and the sale of his paintings by Ewing and Chappell; and comments on the 1915 Matisse show and the Rand School. Four photographs of Kent and his home in Brigus, Newfoundland, and a sketch of the St. John's harbor are included. Correspondents include Charles Daniel, Mrs. Gilchrist, and Anne Freudenberg.
