See archives 2010.010.0052 for a document dated Dec. __, 1855 being an agreement for the carpenter and construction work on the same building. Document was edited by several different hands with many line-outs, cross-outs, emendations and additions. While most editing is ink, there are few in graphite and blue pencil. While this document is folded and marked with the appearance of a clerk's file copy, it is unsigned and apparently a working draft of this contract.
