image/jpeg - Description:
- This unsigned financial document appears to be a summary of three letters, dated in 1806, dealing with the sale and accounting of skins, furs, and military stores. The third section details how sales are to be charged to different military and Indian accounts. The document apparently refers to the factory system, as well as the relationship of the skin and fur trade to various Indian annuities.
