Volume of records kept by John Leland regarding Amherst College finances and funds, 1821-1835

Leland, John, 1807-1864

A bound volume containing financial records of John Leland, Treasurer of the College, 1820-1835 and Financier of the Charity Fund, 1826-1833. The book includes loosely inserted booklets along with an account book and bound letters, reports, expense records, and fund subscription registers all pertaining to Amherst College finances. John Leland is presumed primarily responsible for the content, though Samuel F. Dickinson, John J. Jones, Rufus Graves, and Sally Ames (on behalf of a Mite Society) are contributors to individual documents in the volume. Also included is a letter dated 1888 from George S. Cheney to Mr. Seelye (presumably Julius Hawley Seelye) regarding a booklet of subscription records from Boston subscribers. Subscription registers included may pertain to the Charity Fund or the subscription fund commonly called the Thirty Thousand Dollar Subscription. The compiled records were bound together at an unknown later date "at the expense of Frank W. Stearns."
