Abstract

On April 25, 1826, the St. Louis firm Tracy & Wahrendorff wrote to B.H. Reeves of Fayette regarding the financial accounts of the U.S. Commissioners appointed to lay out the road to New Mexico. The letter enclosed an account statement showing a deficit of $91.55 as of the previous December. Despite the lack of funds, the firm confirmed they would honor specific drafts in favor of Mary E. Sibley ($200) and Paul Baillio ($128), while requesting that Reeves replenish the funds upon the return of his colleague, Thomas Mather.
