content: Shows purchases made by Osage Indians--giving personal names and band names--and purchases made for the Osage Agency house and Mission School, 1878-79. Osage personal names and band names are listed in the ledger, but the ledger had later been used as a scrap-book and many pages are obscured by pasted-on clippings.
