Abstract: This document is a letter written by Jacob Siler, a former Agent of the State1 (1839-40) working within North Carolina and nearby states, and sent to North Carolina Governor David Settle Reid. In the letter, Siler lists the different expenses and services which he performed for the government and for which he is requesting payment. A significant portion of the listed services involve the taking and cancelling of bonds, which can vary in their use purpose but are generally documents issued when an entity borrows or lends money to another. This transcription and its attendant annotations, explanatory material, and bibliography were prepared by students in ENGL 618: Research Methods in English, the required gateway class for the MA in English at Western Carolina University.
