The title which would have been on the spine is missing. There is one item for Feb 1890 that has been inserted at the front of the volume, see 'Paige'.

This letter book consists mostly of typed copies, with some ms copies. Most of the typed copies are clearly legible. Unusually, the Letter Book is full (p.1-500), often with 2 letters per page, and there are a few additional letters taped in, only p. 494 is blank. The pages often have either 1 or 2 numbers marked in blue pencil, showing previous and subsequent related correspondence within the book. There is also an alphabetical index at the front of the book. The copy letters are usually the signed copies, in this book the letters were often signed on behalf of Wellcome ,presumably by his secretary, and are clearly indicated as such.
