Scope and Contents
Collection includes family correspondence; MSS of several incomplete books; file on the Makea Daniela trial; Cook Islands official papers; New Zealand parliamentary papers relating to the Cook Islands; notebooks; newspaper clippings; social ephemera (1876-1904).
The papers appear to have been compiled by Moss' daughter Amy and they reflect the concern of the family to refute the accusations made against their father and to clear the name of Makea Daniela.
