Description
(TEXAS) EAGLE PASS MERCHANT DOCUMENTS, 1854-1857
Interesting lot from Eagle Pass, the first United States settlement on the Rio Grande, containing four documents from the mercantile of "Adolfo Duclos", a French immigrant who set up his shop a few miles from Fort Duncan and ran a business accepting cotton from San Antonio and selling it to Mexico in exchange for commission. Includes an A.L.S., "A Duclos", 1p., 4to, Eagle Pass, July 2, 1857, in French, discussing payment with another merchant, a second letter in English (possibly secretarial), and two bills of sale in Spanish for various goods with many gallons of whiskey noted thereon. Very good, worthy of further research.
