20511-99. [document] This is a 1–page hand written document from the files of Light-House Inspector L. Sitgreaves, for the Eleventh Light-House District. Dated December 7, 1854. Hand written receipt acknowledges payment to J. E. Southerland for repair of lighthouses in the Eleventh Light-House District [ Great Lakes ]. Work included supplying lights with hickory firewood, 2 pair scissors, padlock for beacon, whitewashing the light, and more. Document is hand written and signed by the recipient on blue lined paper and originated in files of Capt. Sitgreaves. Capt. Sitgreaves was Light-House Inspector in the Eleventh District, and designed and built a number of light stations in his long career. This document is part of an important lot of early documents of the period just after the complete reorganization of the Light-House Establishment and institution of the new Light-House Board. During this point many lighthouses were repaired and many new stations established. Document measures 8” x 10, one side, with original light folds, overall clean, crisp. A most interesting and scarce early Great Lakes lighthouse document. (VG). $42
