- Description
- One canvas rucksack with leather straps and metal buckles. Drawstring top and top flap, side pocket and front pocket. Letter accompanying rucksack reads: “Dear Jonah, I have a packsack which I purchased in Banff nearly 52 years ago. It doesn’t look like much as it is pretty old and delapidated, but it has lots of character as I carried it on my back while travelling over hundreds of miles of trails in Banff and Jasper Parks by foot, skiis and snowshoes. I am enclosing a picture of me wearing the packsack . . . As I will have no further use for the packsack I thought you might like to have it as a present on your eleventh birthday . . .”

On the front of the bag the words “WARDENS” (4.0x21.0cm wide), in an arc, and under it “BNP” (4.0x9.0cm wide), in an inverted arc, are stencilled in red ink.Bag (b) 26.0cmx17.2cm wide, is one piece of light cotton canvas material folded and sewn together on the bottom and side to create a bag.
