Summary
This series consists of copies of incoming correspondence directed to Governor Edwin D. Morgan, originally found in Inspector General's administrative correspondence files. The Executive Chamber probably forwarded these copies to the Inspector General in order to keep him informed of current events or because they dealt with matters which required his attention. One of the Inspector General's major responsibilities was to attend to the organization of the militia, which is what the bulk of this correspondence is concerned with.
