Express "Bank Ledger" for 1916–27, and in 3 different parts of the records of the Treasurer's Office: "Summary of Foreign Postal Remittances," September 1912-May 1915, "Bank Balances" for September 1911-October 1916, and the "Foreign and Investment Bank Account," 1916–18. Records of the Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank contain a report of 5 June 1915 with an appended Schedule A which notes an account with the Commercial Bank of Siberia and a Schedule B noting funds remitted to the Russo-Asiatic Bank.
