Confederate States Depository Bonham,Texas

There was a Confederate Treasury Department Depository in Bonham,Texas. S.B.Allen was the Depositary. We know from Prochette's prior post that General McCulloch had all the army papers burned in June of 65 at Bonham. Can we also assume that the Depositary at Bonham,Texas had destroyed all of the fiscal documents at the Depository? Confederate and Texas State currency,bonds,receipts etc...

And this raises another interesting question. The fate of the balance of material in the Trans-Mississippi Depositories at the end of the War.
