Records, 1834-1856 (inclusive).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/269602437

Business papers of a New York and San Francisco firm of hat merchants, consisting of William H. White and Henry A. Burr, partners. The later papers reflect consignment sales of hats and other merchandise in San Francisco. The unusual feature of these manuscripts is the record of convict labor engaged in the manufacture of hats. From 1851-1856 William H. White was in San Francisco, selling hats and caps and other merchandise on consignment for John Randall of New York City. One of the principal commodities consigned to him was buckwheat.
