1848 July 5, New York: J.F.C. Sanford to Sibley
Quantity: A.L.S. 3p. 
Scope and Content Note: Writer thinks that there will be difficulty between Crooks and Ehniger in regard to American Fur Company property sold to Chouteau and Company by Ehniger, and to Borup by Crooks. Is quite certain Crooks made the sale to Borup without the concurrence of Ehniger. States that Ehniger, who is indignant about the whole affair, is ready to test Crooks' right to sell the property, and if necessary, will make a full expose of Crooks' conduct in the affairs of the American Fur Company. Borup now has possession of the property, and if he is unwilling to surrender the property peaceably, it probably cannot be recovered before another year. There is added a copy of Ehniger's agreement to sell the northern outfit trading houses to P. Chouteau Jr. and Company. There is also a copy of P. Chouteau Jr. and Company's letter written from New York, April 17, 1848 to George Ehniger regarding the proposed sale of the American Fur Company post at La Pointe.
