District land office Receivers were responsible for all financial transactions relating to the sale of public lands. Receivers' journals provide a double entry recording of each daily transaction arranged by type of account. Generally several types of accounts are included together in the same volume under the following headings: sales of public lands; stock and cash; interest accounts; account of discounts; accounts of deposits; and account of forfeitures. Not all accounts are included in all volumes. Entries usually include the date, purchaser's name, purchase date, location of tract, number of acres, and price. This volume documents the business aspects of public land sales, the work of the Receiver of Public Monies and provides information on purchasers. Often this series appears together in a volume with Receiver's journals of credit system purchases.
