The collection consists of thirty-five letters, thirty-three of which are addressed to H.W. Ryland, member of the Legislative Council of Lower Canada, one to a Lieutenant-Colonel Ready, Amyot's deputy at Quebec at the time, and one to the Reverend William Ryland, curate of Sandridge, England, the son of H. W. Ryland. The letters concern chiefly private business matters and Amyot's relation to Lower Canada when he was its absentee secretary, the receipt of his pension when his secretaryship was commuted in 1828, and his activities with the British government on Ryland's behalf.
