Copies of letters addressed to officials, individuals and corporate bodies in and around Sydney,
Parramatta, the Hawkesbury etc. There are also a few letters to overseas countries, mainly India.
Some of the earlier letters were written by the Governor but most are by his Secretary.
Some of the letters dated 7 November 1812 and later are written on paper watermarked 1824.
They were probably copied in 1825 as one of the letters is wrongly dated 24 November 1825, and
bound between this date and 7 November 1826 when they are listed as being in the office.
Local letters are continued in series 5, overseas letters in series 7.
