Additional Description

Arrangement

The correspondence is arranged chronologically by year, and within a year by month and day. Care should be exercised not to disturb the arrangement, and also to ensure one sees the entire letter. In some cases, Edwardson duplicated a second letter on the reverse side of the first, probably as an economy measure. During processing, a photocopy was made of these “duplicated” letters and they are filed in chronological order.

The arrangement of the remainder of the collection is easily ascertained from the Inventory.
