This series consists of payrolls, correspondence, bills, receipts, contracts, abstracts of vouchers, and one resolution for various New York State asylums. The records were generated pursuant to Chapter 21 of the Laws of 1782 which required all state offices, civil or military, to submit to the Auditor (predecessor of the Comptroller) "Such returns, abstracts or accounts, or vouchers as shall be necessary" to settle the accounts of the state.
