Two manuscripts, 23 June 1852 - 19 Oct. 1853 and 1853, accounts of Christopher Werner with the "Commissioners of the Fireproof Building in Columbia So. Ca." for building supplies and hardware. Letter, 12 Apr. 1855, from Hayne & Miles, [Columbia, S.C.], re payment of a promissory note due P.H. Hammarskold; and receipt, 3 Mar. 1857, directing [James] Jones, "Commissioner of the New State House," to hold $5,000 subject to the order of John C. Cochran, Cashier of the South Western Rail Road Bank, upon completion of the monument honoring the Palmetto Regiment on the State House grounds. The overleaf bears Cochran's signature acknowledging receipt of four thousand dollars from Jones on 19 Jan. 1858. The oldest monument at the State House, the "Iron Palmetto," as it has been called, commemorates the heroism of South Carolina's Palmetto Regiment during the Mexican War.
