Chiefly family letters from William Bolland, first minister at New Plymouth, 1843-1847; and from his wife Jane, after his death. Also two letters from Bishop Selwyn, and one from John Morgan, Wanganui to Rev W E Bolland, Norfolk, England, dated 1910
Included are three letters by William Bolland to his mother Sarah Bolland. In two of them William describes his happiness at having married Jane Wright. They were married in 1841, and sailed for Taranaki the same year. In three letters written by Jane from New Zealand she describes their arrival, life as a clergyman's wife, her home, and nursing her son through an illness. A two page sheet entitled `Description of Sunday', was probably also written by Jane.
