http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/37886046

Correspondence was primarily with the Commissioner of the General Land Office; Surveyor General; Secretary of the U.S. Treasury; U.S. Treasurer; and private individuals. Before 1814 correspondence principally concerns Receivers' and Register's land claim settlement actions as the Kaskaskia Board of Commissioners. After 1814, when public land sales began, correspondence principally concerns submission and correction of Receiver's and Register's accounts; patent receipts; final certificates, and U.S. Treasuary drafts; preemption claims; military land warrants; credit extension to land purchasers; and general land office transactions. After February 25, 1856, correspondence concerns Kaskaskia District land received and filed by the Springfield Land District Office.
