Paddington Letter Books

Description

Unique IDAS-0591Start dateBetween 29th June 1860 and 30th October 1915Start date qualifiercircaFormatVolume - Leather BoundDescriptionThese are volumes of copies of letters sent by Council to private individuals, organisations, and government departments. Letters are primarily written by the Council Clerk, although at times are signed by other council officials, such as the Inspector of Nuisances. All volumes were indexed alphabetically by the name of the person or organisation the letters were sent to, or the subject of the letter. Volume 1 contained handwritten copies of the letters, the numbering system consisted of the last two digits of the year and a running number, e.g. 60/32. This system is used briefly in places in Volume two, although from Volume two onwards each page is numbered. Volumes 2 to 13 are press-copy books. The final letter in Volume 4 is typescript, a combination of handwritten and typescript letters continued until Volume 6, from which time they were predominantly typescript press copies. The volumes also occasionally included miscellanous Council documents, such as Memoranda.

The last volume in the series noted that after 1 September 1915 all letters sent out were to be carbon duplicate copied and attached to the corresponding letter.

These volumes are fragile, Volumes Three and Five are restricted due to their poor condition.
