The fonds consists of two poems by John Kilmer. The first poem is a holograph of the "Ballad of Father Hudson", a poem describing the land of the Great-North-Seaboard Province from Fundy to Chaleur and the life of Father Hudson, and the second poem refers to Eddi's service, Eddi being a Priest at St. Wilfrid.
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.
The fonds consists of a journal listing deaths in Kingston, Sydenham, Loughborough Township and Cataraqui, frequently listing the age and cause of death. The journal was also used as a scrapbook, and contains some ledger entries. Also included are a flyer advertising Forepaugh's Circus visit to Kingston on July 9, 1880, a postcard, letter, invoice, two envelopes and two cut ledger pages.
