Please note: these despatches were copied on to thin tracing paper and then bound into books.  The ink used on some copies has faded over the years, some to the point where they are now illegible.  The best scan possible has been taken but some pages are badly faded, faded completely or unable to be fully scanned without damaging the binding.
