From August, 1829 all these communications are addressed to the Treasury; but before that date the Adjutant-General and other military officials, and the War Office are among the addressees. Subjects dealt with include Commissariat matters, the Ordnance Department, general financial matters, stores, military affairs, Customs, Colonial Treasury affairs. Notes on the ships and dates of despatch of original and duplicate appear, and there is an index covering the period to August, 1829. For corresponding inward despatches from the Treasury, see GO17 and for others, including some from the War Office, see GO39/1. GO52/3 contains some copies of despatches addressed to the Treasury from 1826.
