In cases in which it is useful, I have included the specific busta (box) number with headings to facilitate further research. All busta numbers as well as page numbers or letter numbers, when available, are cited in the text. However, some letters found in one buste are sometimes given the same number (particularly in Milan). Letter numbers listed in footnotes are meant to be a guide rather than an absolute reference.
