Notes (historical):
Under successive authorizations, the Committee for the Sale of Eastern Lands (1783-1801) and the Land Office were the primary agencies with responsibility for the management and sale of public lands in Maine on behalf of the Commonwealth. During the three-quarters of a century that these functions were served, it was necessary for these agencies to communicate with a wide variety of publics, in and out of Massachusetts, in the prosecution of that business. This is the main correspondence file of the Land Office, and, as such, it incorporates materials generated by its predecessor, the Committee for the Sale of Eastern Lands. The file provides communications on a vast array of subjects pertaining to the business of managing and selling public lands in Maine.
