The group consists largely of letters, over 1,200 in number, addressed to A. J. George, often with draft or copy replies. The principal correspondent is his brother William George, Bootle, who describes incidents in the religious and public life of Liverpool (e g the General Election, 1910, the Railway Strike, 1911, the opening of the Mersey Tunnel, 1934, losses by enemy action during World War II) and discusses a variety of business matters of family interest (e.g. the tenancy of properties owned in Beaumaris). There are many personal letters also from his father, Isaac George, from other relatives and from acquaintances in Liverpool and elsewhere, and from members of his churches, the latter often resident far afield. Letters of a more professional nature, deriving from his pastoral, social, and academic activities, deal with such subjects as the appeal on behalf of the proposed new Baptist Chapel at Balliol Road Bootle, 1897-9, his application for the chair of Greek and New Testament Studies at the Baptist College, Bangor, 1923, the restoration of Tabor Baptist Chapel, Llithfaen, 1932, and the Bangor Baptist College Appeal Fund, 1949-51, and the writers include Ellis Davies, M.P., Caernarvon, T. Witton Davies, Bangor, Frank Evans, Porth, J. T. Evans, Baptist College, Bangor, Walter J. Evans, Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, William Evans, Porth, D. Lloyd George, T.
