United States Direct Tax refund records, 1891-1901.

The types of records include administrative correspondence, claims of individuals for tax refunds, and state vouchers issued for refund of direct taxes. The administrative correspondence, 1891-1900, is both incoming and outgoing. Governor Francis P. Fleming, Governor Henry L. Mitchell, and Mitchell's private secretary David Lang corresponded with the direct tax claimants, their attorneys, Florida's Congressional delegation, and U.S. Treasury Department agents concerning the direct tax refund procedure. The claims, 1891-1901, contain a variety of documentation certifying their validity and ownership, including applications for refunds, receipts for checks issued, statements vesting powers of attorney, and letters of administration of estates. In addition, the series contains records specific to the City of Fernandina and Nassau County claims, Merchants National Bank of Jacksonville monthly statements and balances from 1894-1897, and a copy of the transactions of the United States Direct Tax Commission for Florida from 1862-1865.
