Abstract
This document is a receipt certified by George C. Sibley at Fort Osage on November 1, 1827, detailing payments requested from the Mexican Road Commissioners.

The first period covers July 1825 to October 1826, describing time spent in New Mexico and the wilderness at "very great risk," while the second covers May to July 1827 for work assisting Sibley to "complete the road". The total amount listed for these services is $312.67.
