A manuscript copy of a letter by John N. Barbour to General John Stockton, dated May 5, 1846, and 33 letters between 1831 and 1846 from various merchants and agents in Europe, the United States, and Hawaii document Sullivan & Barbour's trade arrangements and payment for a variety of goods, including lemons, oranges, mulberry trees, cotton, buckets, brimstone, oil, and rags.
