Book Description
Description: Principally business correspondence of the New Zealand Company discussing company stock, shares and land orders. Much of the correspondence here reflects the financial difficulties that the Company encountered as a balance between labouring emigrants and those of the upper classes was not achieved. There are also letters of application to emigrate to the Australasian colonies enquiring into ship departures and accommodation. Other letters seek information relative to the welfare and whereabouts of family members having emigrated to the colonies in previous years. There are also several letters referring to the transfer of land titles, passage funds and company shares in addition to those discussing the expanding agricultural industry. Passenger lists and an array of information relative to the 'Louisa Campbell' ship are also enclosed. Copies of London newspapers from this time also feature at the end of this item and refer to "the division of new Zealand provinces" and legislation passed to financially assist the New Zealand Company "to make further provision for the Government of the New Zealand Islands."
