    The office of the jefe politico (or political chief) of Nacogdoches kept a daily log of abstracted correspondence with various external actors to avoid the tedious work of making complete copies of each letter sent. The copy books contain short descriptions of letters sent by the political chief, and they are arranged by date and organized into three separate books of which this is one volume. A full description of the contents of the copy books is available in the Catalogue of the Spanish Collection, Part 2, pp. 147-178.
