Letters received by Joshua Hathaway as government surveyor of Wisconsin Territory and as a general land agent stationed at Milwaukee, with some drafts of his replies. There are letters from Eastern and Chicago land speculators, regarding land purchases and lots in Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Milwaukee, and along the Catfish and Rock rivers; from the New York-Wisconsin Land Company for which Hathaway became agent; letters to Hathaway and Solomon Juneau concerning the Milwaukee harbor survey; and routine correspondence with other land agents and agencies. There are a few letters from Lucius I. Barber describing the 1842 legislative session, from Albert G. Ellis, surveyor general at Dubuque, and Alexander J. Irwin, Green Bay postmaster; copies of surveying instructions; land records; and some family correspondence. Filed with these are small bound and hand-sewn volumes containing Hathaway's copies of field notes, accounts, reconnaisances, and maps showing early land sales.
