Finding aids
All files, apart from the first folder, include an index to the numbered letters. However, some files also contain unnumbered letters, and the indexes are not always complete for the numbered letters. Deficiencies in the indexes were not deliberately looked for during the cataloguing of these files, but have been noted where they have come to light.
