This sous-fonds consists of accounts, bills, receipts, correspondence, notices of assessments, statements, cheque stubs, a bank book and broadsides. There is also a list of shareholders form 1910, the year the company was sold.

The sous-fonds mainly consists of correspondence, legal documents and material relating predominantly to his personal life and not with his activities as a banker. Also included is material relating to two cases heard in the Supreme Court of Ontario: Macdonnell and Keefer, 1918-1919 and Marks and Keefer, 1917.

The sous-fonds was comprised of documents brought together as a result of the law suit of Browne v. Dollard in Chancery, 1872, which involved the winding up of the partnership. Included are business papers, business correspondence regarding land lots, and a number of land documents involving various land lots in the Kingston area.

The land papers in this sous-fonds trace the changes in ownership of various lots, often from the original Crown grants. The business papers reflect interest rates, rents, assessments and taxes, school tuition, wages paid for work on the farm and the clearing of land. The prices of various household commodities, receipts for carding and fulling, invoices for spinning and weaving, and for tailoring, give interesting information about household life during the main span of years covered, 1832 to 1874.
