The series consists of copies of outgoing correspondence to the missions. (Note that prior to March 1853 there were no letters written between August and December, because it was only possible to send them by the spring express and the summer ships.) Included are nine books for the North-West America Mission, 1821-1882 (Class "C", Series C.1./L.1-4) and 1882-1930 (Class "G", Series C.1./L.5-9), as well as three books for the North Pacific Mission, 1881-1925 (Class "G", Series C.2./L.1-3).

The early despatches for the North Pacific Mission are found in Class "C", Series C.1./L.2-4 above. The 1882-1886 volume (Class "G", Series C.1./L.5) has no internal index but is noticed in the indexes in Finding Aid 23. All the others have internal indexes to which the indexes in Finding Aid 23 refer, except the microfiched volumes for 1915-1930 (Class "G", Series C.1./L.9.), and for 1905- 1925 (Class "G", Series C.2./L.3.), which have internal indexes that are not included in Finding Aid 23. The microfiched volumes 1915-1930 (Class "G", Series C.1./L.9) are on microfiche 96-100 and the volumes for 1905-1925 (Class "G", Series C.2./L.3) are on microfiche 101-107. The microfiched material is not included in the detailed lists in Finding Aid 23.
