Letters from New Zealand 1857–1911

by Henry William Harper

This book is a collection of 26 letters written by Henry William Harper, an Anglican priest, during his time serving in New Zealand between 1857 and 1911. The letters offer a unique perspective on life and work in the Province of Canterbury, South Island, during this period. They detail Harper's parochial duties in Christchurch, on the West Coast, and in Timaru, including his experiences with the local community and his interactions with fellow clergy. Interspersed with these accounts are reflections on matters concerning the Diocese, as well as descriptions of Harper's journeys between New Zealand and England. The letters provide a rich tapestry of personal experiences and historical observations.
