LETTERE DEI PARTICOLARI. 
This collection consists of 325 numbers, 1 - 315 , with 10 internumbered. It 
is inventoried in indice 134 , De Pretis, pp. 186-192, which, in most cases, 
simply gives the dates of the correspondence in each volume. The collection 
is, however, divided into two great series, of letters to, and letters from the 
Holy See. The extreme dates are 1519 and 1803. 
None of the volumes were examined. An American Jesuit, who in the 
course of several months examined 60 volumes, found almost nothing on 
North America. An English Jesuit found a few letters of one of the secre¬ 
taries of the Propaganda. 
SOLDATI. 
This group of 74 volumes for the years 1572-1710, inventoried in folios 
194-196 of indice 134 , De Pretis, seemed most unlikely to contain anything 
even of remote relation to American history. 
BIGLIETTI E MEMORIE. 
De Pretis, indice 134 , fl. 206 and 207, notes 18 volumes in loose yellow 
covers, bearing this title, and belonging to the years 1650-1700, and also 36 
similar volumes, for the years 1701-1739. 
On f. 208, he notes “ Minute di Biglietti scritti per Seg’ria di Stato ”. 1700- 
1740. 
DIARI. 
This little collection of 12 numbers contains volumes covering the years 
1492-1503, 1506-1520, 1534-1538, i 5 i 3 ~ I 5 l6 > i 5 i 4 -i 534 > i 5 6 5 " i 573 > l 57 2 ~ 
1580, 1582-1620, and the conclaves from 1585 to 1655. They are probably 
barren of American material, but none were examined.
