Accounts business and personal, 1844

As a whole, the materials appear to include a random sampling of topics, accounts and correspondence produced in Yonge's lifetime. The material within the collection is limited and seems to represent only a small portion of his records. Most materials seem to be fairly routine types of accounts, including basic receipts and bills, legal documents, and some correspondence. The correspondence is both business and personal. Business correspondence includes materials relating to land grants and bonds, including a land grant for an African American freedman. It also includes plantation planting maps, case briefs and opinions, military land grants, letters from the Treasury department of the United States and other information relating to Yonge's business or private life. While there is some Civil War material, it is largely restricted to letter books and appears to be daily business of a Quartermaster's office. The materials do include cheques and stamps.

The collection is arranged chronologically by year. Occasionally, when there is a limited amount of material, several years are combined. Materials are not organized within the folders. The materials cover the dates between 1827 and 1886, though the bulk of the materials dates after 1840. There are some undated materials. There is some division by topic - the correspondence is separated from the accounts.
