This is Volume XXXIII in the series, Publications of the Hudson's Bay Record Society. It contains transcriptions of letters that were originally written by Charles John Brydges from 1883-1889. Brydges was a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) Land Commissioner. This volume picks up from where Volume XXXI left off, the latter of which contained transcriptions of his letters from 1879-1882 (not included in this volume). In his Preface, editor Hartwell Bowsfield explains that Brydge's letters are divided between the two volumes at 1882 because that year marked the collapse of the Canadian land boom and a subsequent shift in the activities of HBC's Land Department. Brydges's letters in this volume focus on matters such as collecting overdue installment and interest payments from land speculators and others who had purchased during the land boom and taken on too much risk. As a counterpoint, his letters from 1879-1882 had focused on land sales and development of infrastructure such as bridges, steamboat transportation, and properties such as retail stores, mills, and hotels. From 1883-1889, Brydges was under tremendous pressure to cut expenses in the Land Department. In a word, Brydges's letters in this volume reflect a time of economic depression.
