This body of correspondence is thought to be incomplete. Letter register books indicate that there were, or are more letters, potentially held elsewhere. Equally there are letters within the collection that are not indexed in te register books. The General Incoming letters (ACS/1/1), for example, have no corresponding index, despite being labelled with the same referencing system as the letters which do. |
