Correspondence of C.O. Oates, Chairman of the Convention of Associations, chiefly with successive Secretaries and Under-Secretaries of State for the Colonies (Hugh Fraser, Iain Macleod, Reginald Maudling, and Duncan Sandys) and Governors of Kenya (Sir Patrick Renison and Malcolm MacDonald), mainly about land property rights and settlement schemes. There is also some correspondence with Lord Salisbury about 'compassionate cases', and copies of other letters and memoranda.
