There is also a receipt book, 1834-1835, for supplies for lighthouses and unbound papers, 1820-1865, including bills of lading, accounts current, bills, letters, and miscellany. Also included are two letter books relating to Duncannon Iron Works, Clark's Ferry, Pa., 1841-1850. The iron works were owned by Morgan and William L. Fisher.
