The fonds consists of the medical and military records of Dr. James Edmund Mabee ranging in date from 1878 to 1922. Dr. Mabee was a Queen's University graduate who practiced as a general physician at Odessa, Ontario, for over sixty years. There are seven notebooks: one relates to his time at Queen's University, four are notebooks primarily concerning prescriptions, and two are notebooks of remedies and prescriptions pertaining to the 47th Regiment. There is also one patient account book (day book), 1887-1888, covering his medical practice and a file of textual materials including a prescription, correspondence, and newspaper clippings and Dr. Mabee's medical diplomas (New Jersey, Queen's University and Ontario). A later accrual of two letterbooks from Mabee's time as the Officer Commanding (O.C.) the 47th Militia Regiment of Odessa complete the fonds. The letterbooks address the daily business of the regiment such as ordering supplies, issuing pay, and responding to requests from the Eastern Ontario Command.
