Nine accounts relate to state-funded blockade-running operations of the steamers Advance, Hansa, Don, and Annie, January 1864 to February 1865. A Cotton and Wool Account Book, 1862-1865, is the cash book of the assistant quartermaster responsible for the manufacture and acquisition of clothing for North Carolina troops; it contains record of payments made to suppliers of cloth, wool, and clothing for the state. Also included are lists of state agents for the exchange of cotton yarn for wool, and of woolen mills and cotton factories in North Carolina.
