These records contain a register compiled from vouchers on file in the Land Office. Only the number of the exchange warrant and the number of the warrant for which it was issued in exchange are entered for numbers 1-29; the columns headed "to whom issued," "date," and "quantity" are blank.

The entries for numbers 30-34, 530, and 6795-6799 were added later.
