This volume opens with a letter from the Secretary of the Interior, communicating documents in relation to private land claims in New Mexico, February 10, 1860. It contains transcripts of documents relating to nineteen private land claims (claim numbers twenty to thirty-eight) in New Mexico which were referred to the Committee of Private Land Claims on February 10, 1860. November 30, 1859, the General Land Office presented these documents to Congress for their final action. These claims have been investigated and approved by the surveyor general of New Mexico, with the exception of number 26, which has been rejected by him. Individual claims generally contain a Notice, Grant Spanish, Grant Translation (English), Testimony, and Report. Some claims also contain Power of Attorney, Order of Possession, Conveyance, Notice of Appeal, Receipt for Deed, and/or Certificate of Possession. The Notice lists the names of petitioners, the grantee(s), heirs and others involved; it describes the
