Petitions, draft letters, instructions, reports and miscellaneous papers are included. |
| Date: | 1547-1553 |
| Arrangement: |
The papers were rearranged and rebound into a chronological sequence by the State Paper Office in the nineteenth century, preparatory to the publication of its calendars. This rearrangement was carried so far that enclosures, in order that they might be placed in correct date order, were often separated from their accompanying letter.The fundamental arrangement of the series has not changed, however, since the publication of the list for the series in 1914. |
