This collection documents the establishment and early years of the Puget Mill Company, which manufactured lumber. The bulk of the papers are letters from Josiah Keller to his partner, Charles Foster. They discuss building plans, business development, ships and cargoes, and accounts. There are occasional mentions of Keller's personal affairs and one letter describes his voyage around Cape Horn in the schooner L. P. Foster. Two charts show Hood's Canal, the harbor, and location of the mill.
