" The papers ... are, in many cases, secretary's copies, made for the Minister's use. The originals, for the most part, went into official government files and were destroyed in the disorders which later overwhelmed the country. The papers ... therefore are important and unexploited sources for the rewriting and extension of the history of the times. They are unique " (Robert F. Metzdorf).
