Series II. Correspondence and Notes contains correspondence about Everest's research and notes made (presumably) by Everest. This series has been divided into four subseries. Subseries A. Correspondence contains correspondence to Everest in reference to research inquiries he appears to have made from multiple sources. Subseries B. Miscellaneous Notes contains the bulk of the collection. Many of the original boxes were labeled "Miscellaneous Notes", with no further identifying information. In an effort to make these items more accessible, general subjects have been included in the folder descriptions, when possible; however, the materials have been left in their original order—the exception being that oversized materials were moved to more appropriate sized housing. Subseries C. Miscellaneous Notes on Shipping contains notes that were originally labeled as "Miscellaneous Notes on Shipping." Subseries D. List of American Consuls contains a list of individuals who served as American Consuls from 1787 to 1872. These notes appear to be in alphabetical order by location, and were left in the order in which they arrived.
