Biographical/Historical note
Frank Dowdy, an Economist by profession, worked with the Caribbean Commission 1953-59, and in the Economic Planning Division of the Prime Minister's Office. His service in this department (1959-1964) included involvement with the Federal government. He also lectured in Economics for the Extra Mural Department of U.W.I.
Scope and Contents note
The letters, though relatively few in number, shed light on a wide range of issues. Among the most interesting are a couple which make reference to the short-lived Federation of the West Indies. Among the papers is a site plan of the Government Offices and proposed Legislative Council for the island of Dominica, dated August 1961.
