http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122507140

Carbon copies of outgoing letters and memos from the St. Paul office of the Division of Lands and Minerals. The majority were written by or for divisional directors Frank A. Wildes (1933-July 1937) and Ray D. Nolan (August 1937 - June 1967). They are written to other division and department officials and employees, to the staff of the division's Hibbing office, to county auditors and other local officials, to other state agency officials, to mining companies, and to members of the general public. Letters for January-March, 1933, are from Wildes as Superintendent of State Mines, prior to the organization of the division. Beginning in 1940, an increasing number of letters are written by subordinate office personnel, especially the deputy division director and the state land agent.
