Additional Description

General

Being that Surveyor General Letters Sent, Volumes IX and X are in the custody of the Denver Federal Records Center, and since they would not release them for microfilming, they were filmed in Denver and were filmed without frame numbers. The quality of the film is somewhat inferior, and the ratio is also different.
