- Arrangement:
-
The correspondence in the volume appears to have been arranged on an ad-hoc basis. An attempt at chronological order has been made, with the majority of correspondence running from the earliest piece at the beginning of the volume to the last piece at the back. However, there are numerous exceptions to this rule, possibly as a result of Agency staff trying to collate correspondence by topic rather than by order of receipt or despatch.
