UNCLASSIFIED PAPERS. 
In this archive there are several hundred legajos of papers that are not ar- 
ranged into expedientes or otherwise classified except that they are roughly 
grouped into carpetas on a chronological basis. They date from 1777 to 
present times, and many of them are as important for historical purposes as 
those that are classified. It being impracticable to examine all of the legajos 
with minute care, and there being no inventory, several legajos, representing 
different periods, were studied with a view to ascertain the general nature of 
the contents. The results are given here below. 
Legajos 1777 a 1779; 1780 a 1783; 1783, [17]84 y [17]85; 1786 a 1789; 
1792 a 1794; 1794 a 1796; 1797 y 1798; 1799. 
Miscellaneous correspondence of the governors of the province with the 
viceroy, the commandant-general, other governors, the Bishop of 
Nuevo Leon, the intendant of San Luis Potosi, the ayuntamientos, 
alcaldes and justices of the various villas and pueblos. 
Bandos, circulars, royal cédulas, and decrees. 
In legajo 1786 4 1789 there is an anonymous paper marked “ Obispos ”, 
which consists of a brief biographical sketch of the first four 
bishops of Nuevo Leén. 
In legajos 1797 y 1798 there is a ‘“‘ Noticia de las misiones del Rio 
Grande”.
