Treasurers' letters include those of G.W. Lyman, F.H. Story, J.K. Mills, G.L. Lyman, S.L. Bush, Theophilus Parsons, and Ernest Lovering. Agents' letters include those of William Melcher, Stephen Holman, J.S. Davis, J.W. Lovering, Theophilus Parsons, George H. Hills, Ernest Lovering, and James A. Burke.
