Box 76

Creator:

Sweat, Margaret J.M. (Margaret Jane Mussey), 1823-1908 and Cunningham, Ann Pamela, 1816-1875

Scope and content:

Letterbook copy. Marked "After Council of 1872." She returns a copy of the report she made to Council and retains her own copy. Found accounting sent to her inadequate and lacking in analysis. Notes details re household expenses, sales, wages, furniture, etc., so she made only general statements in her report. Asks about audit of expenses for 1870-71 at informal meeting in New York. Urges setting up an efficient set of books that can be shown, daily records periodically balanced, report on expenditures. This will forestall critics. There was a day by day Record of 1858 Council but no others, which would be invaluable.

Language:
