| Description: | HO 42. Letters and Papers. Includes papers relating to the Middlesex Election. |
| Note: | To limit repetition in the Catalogue, individual addressees working in the Home Office have not normally been named at item level. In this piece, except where stated, correspondence received directly by the Home Office had either been addressed to the Home Secretary (Lord Hawkesbury) or an Under-Secretary (John King or John Henry Smyth). January 1801 had marked an administrative change bringing incoming Home Office correspondence from government departments (other than the Admiralty and War Office at HO 50 and HO 28 respectively) into HO 42, a decision reversed in 1812. Equivalent correspondence prior to 1801 is to be found at HO 30 Secretary of State for War; HO 31 Privy Council Office; HO 32 Foreign Office; HO 35 Treasury. Incoming correspondence from the Board of Customs, the Post Office and Audit Office for the period 1782 to 1800 can be found at HO 42/206 to HO 42/215 inclusive. |

| Arrangement: |
The digital images of these records were taken from old microfilm copies. A later cataloguing project restored the chronological arrangement of the papers and re-foliated the pages. As a result, the folio numbering of the catalogue descriptions for individual items does not match the numbering of the digital images, and some images may appear out of sequence. |
