These general papers have a significant focus upon the laws and legislature of Canada that were to affect the USPG, and especially so with regard to Acts that covered their reserves. The reserve fund accounts, from 1843 until 1848, serve to illustrate some of the significance that these lands held for the Society. The Government correspondence extends beyond the issue of laws relating to clergy reserves, into the laws governing the union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada. The expansion of the Society's work into new settlements was not always combined with an increase in funds and new areas were being settled as clergy wrote appeals against cuts to their income. Another issue of some significance, is the transfer of the Mohawk Mission to the New England Company. The papers and correspondence of the Upper Canada Clergy Society also feature, together with details of pension and salary payments.
