INSTANTANEOUS INDEX REFERENCE CHART.

OPERATION. The following tabular form will be found to serve a most admirable purpose, if used as indicated, as it will be a comparatively light task to find the particular letter wished for out of a long list of pages. It will be observed that if the last page indexed on April 21 is 125, and that on April 22 is 137, a letter indexed under Thomas Brown, on page 132 must have been copied on April 22. Therefore, if a person writes many letters to the same party, and can recollect that about a certain date he wrote to him on a particular subject, it will not be necessary to run through all the pages indexed, as the page near that date is established by the record.
