    I just came across your site and I love that you’ve given an abstract of what’s in each of these military letters. I’ve been looking into the Haldimand Papers myself on microfiche and they’re not easy to read, some of them. And there are also so many of them. Having this info available online makes it easier for me to narrow down what to look at, as I try to find my needle in a haystack. Thanks for doing this – great idea! Lots of work on your part.
