Miscellaneous Numerical Correspondence File, [1906-1917].
The correspondence is arranged chronologically by year and thereunder numerically according to a locally devised code. This series is an early local version of the field office decimal code provided by the Office of Indian Affairs in 1925. It was used by the agency from 1909- 1917. Most of the superintendent's office records were channeled into this file. Apparently the agency placed pre-1909 documents in the file as well, as correspondence created s early as 1906 appears. Much of the file consists of letters received and copies of letters sent; correspondence with all classes of agency correspondents, from the Office of Indian Affairs to business firms, agency employees and private individuals, are represented. In addition, there are forms, reports, bills, receipts and various other documents created or received in the course of operating the agency. While the superintendent's office was directly involved in the creation or receipt of much of the documentation, other agency officials administrative divisions are also represented. |
