Fonds consists of microfilmed letters from Archdeacon (later Bishop) Kelly to Bishop Powys, members of the Powys family, and friends in his former Vicarage of Kirk Michael, Isle of Man. Most of the letters were written while Rev. Kelly was in Newfoundland and Bermuda. They describe his arrival in Newfoundland, the challenge of his isolated mission life, his church activities in St. John's, and ministering to isolated communities along the coast. Included are a printed account of the survival of Bishop Kelly from the shipwreck and sinking of the church ship "STAR", 1871; an account of his wedding day, 19 Oct. 1871 in Halifax, Nova Scotia; the new mission ship, "LAVRAK"; social news of church personnel in Bermuda, Isle of Man, and Newfoundland; description of severe epidemics, economic hardships and weather conditions; reference to the growth of the Wesleyan community and the need for more missionaries to help him carry out the work of the Church of England; and a description of a trip to the Holy Land (Beirut and Damascas). This material is located on microfilm reel A-33 or on A-1647.
