- Handwritten letter from Henry Schoolcraft of 846 Clinton Boulevard, Michilimackinac to Charles Christopher Trowbridge of Detroit, dated September 2, 1838, sent accompanying devalued money from the wildcat bank, Bank of Clinton. Schoolcraft uses the Ojibwe words, "Ka. onishishin," to describe the currency.

I add, that I received every dollar of it, from Mr. Wells, as past pay on a check from Maj. G. for salary. Truly yours Henry R. Schoolcraft C.C. Trowbridge Esq.
