content: The twelve volumes of registers of letters received are dated March 1866–April 1872 (1 – 12). Entries in the first nine registers, March 1866–February 1870, are arranged alphabetically by initial letter of the surname of the correspondent and thereunder chronologically. However, each register does not contain all alphabetical divisions. For example, the "A"s are in Volumes (1), (3), and (9) only, and the "G"s are in volumes (1), (2), (3), (6), and (9) only. The volume listings below show the initial letters of surnames included in each volume. The entries within each alphabetical division are numbered with a separate numerical sequence for each year, but don't always span the time period listed below. 

The last three registers, January 1870–April 1872, are arranged by time period. The entries in Volumes 10 and 11 are arranged alphabetically by initial letter of the surname of the correspondent and thereunder in chronological order and numbered. The entries in volume 12, July 1871–April 1872, are arranged in chronological order and numbered with a separate numerical sequence for each year. The name index to volume 12 is volume (13) above. The letters received relating to the registers, March 1866–February 1872, are listed below.
