Accruals

System of arrangement

The letters are arranged as follows:
Where there are five or more letters from one individual or family the letters have been collated and a separate folder created for each person or family. These folders have been arranged alphabetically by the family name. This series runs from File 1 to File 39.

Where an individual has less than five letters in the collection, the letters are in two separate groupings. The first runs from File 40 to File 44 and is arranged alphabetically by family name. The second, in File 46, comprises letters which have not been collated or arranged by family name but have been listed item by item. Some individuals are represented in both groupings.

Letters without identifiable authors are in File 45.

File 47 is addressed envelopes unaccompanied by letters.
