The fonds consists of records from the Ku Klux Klan of Kanada. The records largely revolve around the management of the organization.

Handwritten. Reads "Mr. WH Hutchison I got your letter… found 3 men wanting to claim it… Williams and Hunt back but Hunt back gave in and if it belong to him he didn't want it so I got it and sent it to you. There is no… to you hope everything is satisfactory. We are all well hope to find you the same. Yours, WH Jamason". At the bottom, handwriting reads: "I don't think any of the claims is any good but yours".

Addressed to "Faithful and Esteemed Klansmen and Klanswoman". Begins with addressing the large "Publishing House in Ontario" that is "interested in our Anglo-Saxon Movement", that will publish a paper in their interest and financed by subscriptions from members. This "official paper" will help spread articles of instructions to members and others interested in the principles of their movement. The Publishing House has requested the Organization to supply material relative to their work, and they will publish items of current topics and general news. The weekly paper would cost $2.00 per year. Further addresses reports that there are too many that are "not" interested in the Klan, but use it as a "centre to air their family quarrels and social differences". This will only humiliate the Klan in "the eyes of the alien world". They thus need more members who will live up to their obligations, and work in Clannish unison. Signed by George Marshall, Imperial Wizard, and J.S. Lord, Imperial Kligrapp.

Titled "Dr. C. Lewis Fowler Sends Special Message to All Klansmen and Klanswomen in Canada". First, that in coming up to the Klonvocation, they are taking "the most important steps in the history of the Cause in Canada"; Two, that "no man can feel as I do toward this cause. I have the honor of being its Father in Canada. As such I have a right as well as a sacred obligation to think of it and to speak of it; hence this message. I have no personal ambitions, I crave no office, do not desire to be the Imperial Wizard, for with my own hands I wrote into the Laws the Words, the Imperial Wizard must be a native born Canadian citizen [...] But I have never had but one desire, viz; that of a great Organization set up in Canada [...] To this end I have given my pledge to the Committee that I will return here, will be in the Kloncovation and that I will remain as long as it is the will of the members in Klonvocation assembled for me to remain and train the men elected in all the Orders [...] I have delivered in trust the higher orders to a trust committee to hold for this body until they are ready for them. I am ready and willing to serve when the right kind of men are placed about me in the work"; Third, that he has given his life for this work, and wish the newly elected men will be men of experience; Fourth, that he urges them to come to Klonvocation and to "distribute the Kloncilium all over the Dominion so as to represent each and every section"; Five, that he feels that only he has "the obligation and the right to send this personal message"; and Six, that he hope he stirs their "pure minds by way of remembrance Future generations will be pleased if we are big, and true and wise now". Signed C. Lewis Fowler.
