- Description
This folder contains correspondence to and from Increase Allen Lapham from October-December 1873. Increase Allen Lapham was commissioned by Governor Cadwallader Colden Washburn to head the Wisconsin Geological Survey. The Wisconsin Geological survey required a large coordinated effort by a number of people across the state of Wisconsin in order to be completed in a timely manner. As such, many of the letters discuss funding, hiring, data analysis, and updates on survey progress from scientists in the field. Also included are a few non survey-related letters. Most of the non-survey related letters pertain to the quality control testing of private well water.
