Voyageur contract for Jean Labrie
Item
1 sheet ; 30.2 x 18.4 cm
Contract between Jean Labrie (likely from the city of Montreal) and the outfitter Owen McDougal. No other contract details are present.
Signed with cross (presumably by Jean Labrie) and signature of Owen McDougal.
Printed form on laid paper with handwritten additions, identical to MSG 1108-07 through MSG 1108-13. This is a generic contract form, not found in Lande. It was likely a Canadian imprint printed prior to 1800.
Month of contract date is not given; Lande dates this contract to 5 February 1800.
Contract may represent a verbal agreement, as no employment conditions are stipulated and the voyageur appears to be illiterate.
