Show detail Hide detail

Sub-sub-series consists of seven indexes numbered 1 through 6, plus a Transfer Index for number 5. In each index the following information is recorded: the date of the letter, the letter number, the date of receipt, the name of the correspondent and the subject of the correspondence with a brief synopsis. Each index is divided into three sections. In the first, all correspondence relating to major subjects is indexed, including accounts, agreements, bridges, claims, dredges, lockmasters, petitions, tenders and tolls. The middle section is an alphabetical index by name of correspondent, and the third is an index arranged by name of canal. Although the correspondence itself has not survived, these indexes are useful for their evidential value. It is possible that the incoming correspondence of the Chief Engineer was eventually placed on Canal Branch register files.
