Series notes:
This correspondence is of the first part of Sir John Franklin's administration, and differs in few important respects from Series CSO 1. Some files that originated in the period covered by that series are included in this, and access to them is to be gained by means of the indexes to the former (CSO 3 and CSO 4).
These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
System of Arrangement:
The registration system is one numerical series (1-7779) for the whole period. Inward correspondence and internal memoranda form the great bulk of the series, although copies of outward letters begin to make their appearance; but the Lieutenant-Governor's and the Colonial Secretary's endorsements must still be relied upon for the substance of the reply. No volumes are known to be missing
