Fonds consists of entrybooks of despatches and correspondence with fellow governors, military and civil officers, and the British Minister at Washington, maintained for Sir James Kempt by his secretaries during his administration of Nova Scotia and Lower Canada, 1820-1830, with some items dated 1831-1832 (volumes 2-7). These were the personal copies kept for Kempt's reference; the copies kept for official reference purposes may be found in RG 7. The texts of many of the letters and despatches may also be located in series of correspondence from the Governor's Office in RG 7 and with despatches received by the Colonial Office (MG 11) prefaces the microfilm. Further correlations may be established with records held at the Public Archives of Nova Scotia.

En plus, on trouve un brouillon, 1829, et texte final d'une requête, 8 janvier 1830, des principaux chefs indiens des sept villages, résidents du Sault St. Louis, district de Montréal, demandant qu'un membre de la famille Johnson soit nommé surintendant et inspecteur général des indiens, en remplacement de sir John Johnson décédé, et que le docteur R. Neilson de Montréal soit nommé médecin de leurs familles (volume 1; 8 pages).
