DRANE AND DUPREE PAPERS


Account books and miscellaneous business papers of the mercantile firm of Drane and Dupree, Raymond, which was organized in November 1866 by J. N. Drane and Dr. H. T. T. Dupree, and which apparently was dissolved on January 1, 1876. The miscellaneous papers include 194 letter-press copies of letters written by the firm (May 9, 1873May 22, 1876), a few insurance policies and receipts before 1873 (14 pieces), and 80 pieces in 1873 which are principally receipts from the Vicksburg and Meridian Railroad Company and bills of lading of the Southern Express Company for shipments to and from Bolton. The insurance papers pertain to Mrs. C. N. Drane, Raymond; Drane and Dupree, Raymond; and H. T. T. Dupree, Raymond and Vicksburg. Some of the insurance matters were handled by companies represented by Benjamin G. Humphreys.
