These are all from W. A. Lucay, cashier, to Pearson. Three directly mention receipt of gold, '5 parcels gold' and '3 parcels gold bullion' and '2 parcels gold bullion.' These would most probably be heading to the U. S. Mint at Charlotte. Other talk about banking business with Page Bacon, Parker & Tolano, American Express, Adams Express, etc. R.C.
