- Description
This folder contains correspondence to and from Increase Allen Lapham from May and June of 1873. Increase Allen Lapham was commissioned by Governor Cadwallader Colden Washburn to head the Wisconsin Geological Survey. The survey required a large coordinated effort by a number of people across the state of Wisconsin. As such, many of the letters in this folder concern the acquisition of equipment and personnel required for carrying out the survey of the region. Items mentioned include barometers, compasses, tents, and township plat maps. Also included are several invoices, letters tracking lost packages, and a few non survey-related letters.
