| Description: | HO 42. Letters and papers. |
| 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 William Wyndham Grenville (Home Secretary) or Evan Nepean (Under-Secretary), or the addressee had not been identifiable from the surviving text. Original addressees outside the Home Office of material subsequently passed there are always stated where identifiable. Although the run of general incoming correspondence in this Piece covers the period 1 September to 31 December 1789, the Piece also includes, at Items 2 to 34 (folios 2 to 175), material from 8 July 1789 onwards relating to a supposed plot to kill George III, its exposure in the Argus by Sampson Perry, and the surveillance of Robert Barry, suspected of orchestrating a hoax. |
| Date: | 1789 Sept 01-1789 Dec 31 |
| 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. |
