| 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 the Home Secretary (Duke of Portland to 30 July, Lord Pelham thereafter) or an Under-Secretary (John King, Edward Finch Hatton to 18 August or Sir George Shee thereafter). 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, Post Office, Audit Office and the King's Printer for the period 1782 to 1800 can be found at HO 42/206 to HO 42/215 inclusive. |
