Some of the clergy play a larger part in this correspondence than the rest, Reverends F. H. Carrington, Aubrey G. Spencer, Edward Field, and John Parsons in particular, though Reverend John Clinch introduced the Smallpox vaccine to Newfoundland. Other focal points include: the construction of St John's Cathedral, reports upon the school system, and an enclosure from the Naval Commissioner with regard to Bermuda.
