This manuscript describes a man named Hisa and a woman named Kame during the Edo (also known as Tokugawa) period in Japan. As part of the practice of shumon aratame, they had to stand on a fumi-e, a likeness of Jesus and Mary, to prove that they were not Christians. In the Edo period of Japan, the government used shumon aratame as part of an effort to eradicate Christianity.

This collection is an excellent research resource for an English military and diplomatic family in the 19th century; specifically the period covering the Napoleonic Wars and British diplomatic influence in Europe and Central America. Though there is a strong family connection to Jamaica, there is no material in the collection related to Jamaica, slavery or Edward Long's belief in polygenism.
