SERIES: 3976
TITLE: Letterbooks
DATES: i 1890-1915.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological. Occasionally pages may be used out of order, particularly pages toward the end of a volume.

DESCRIPTION: These letterbooks contain press copies of outgoing correspondence from the auditor's office. The auditor was responsible for superintending the fiscal concerns of the state, in large part monitoring the county collection and remittance of taxes and their disbursement via warrants drawn on the state treasury. Consequently many letters were generated, particularly to county officials and the state treasurer. Copies of reports from the auditor are also included. In addition to his fiscal position, the auditor held other offices briefly: Recorder of Marks and Brands (1896-1917), Sealer of Weights and Measures (1898-1911), and Commissioner of Statistics (1907-1911). Limited correspondence regarding those office functions occurs.
