Box 4273.001

Scope and Contents The collection consists of a single receipt, recording the payment of $150 by D. A. Boyd to Wall as partial payment for a team of mules, dated February 5, 1864. The remainder of the sum owed--$600--appears to have been due within a month of February 8, although the wording is not clear. The high price for the team suggests that this transaction took place in the Confederacy, where inflation had reached ruinous levels by early 1864.
