The Kelsey Papers

In 1926, certain documents were presented to the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland by Major A.F. Dobbs. These had been collected by Arthur Dobbs, author and statesman, who in addition to displaying varied interests, and no small influence, in colonial affairs during the eighteenth century—he was Governor of North Carolina from 1754 until his death in 1765—distinguished himself as a critic of the administration of the Hudson's Bay Company.
