General Notes

Note

Notes: Possibly done by Luke Wimmer(?). The piece that comes after this 1887.511 is a tracing- however, it is going the opposite direction and was signed by Luke Wimmer. What was the point of this as they don't match up? This is still a question we are discussing. Status: OK Status By: Jenna Thomas Status Date: 2012-07-11
