These sixtee n ite ms we re salvaged from destruc tion many years ag o by the late William White (1859· 1949) of Trinity, T.8 ., Nfld ., and were donated to the Newfoundland Archives in May 196 1 by his daughter and so n, Miss M. M. Whit e and Mr. Walter G. C. White, St. John 's. Mr. White spe nt most of his long life at his nat ive Trinity, of whose h istor y he wa s a lifelo ng student see his articles o n Trinity history in THE NEWFOUND LAND Q UARTERL Y 1956-57. I knew him for many yea rs. 2. Most of the items are busi ne ss reco rds , chie fly of the first half of the 19th cen tury. All these business reco rds. except Item 9. may safely be taken as having been compiled by, or connected wi th, the Slade firm whose Newfoundland headquarters we re at Trinity. This identification is chiefly based on thes e circum stances, namely: a. The Shipping Papers and Ag reements. Item 11; the Lette rs, Item 12; two or three of the other records: nearly all show the Slade firm name of , N. C. CREWE the "Trinity Bay Stedes." b. Mr. White. having found this batch of records, many yea rs ago in a store on the for mer Slade premises at Hog 's Nose. Trinity, regarded them as of Slade origin or connection.
