Update on Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at 10:35PM by Petra Mitchinson

17 Dec 1707. ARREARS PAYMENTS AND PLUMBERS’ DRAFT CONTRACT. Bundle 5, Doc 16. 32 cm x 19.5 cm. Crumpled edges, dirty at the top with one hole. There is a list of arrears payments on one side, and the back has been used in 1709 to draft a contract in Jeffrey BECK’s handwriting. The handwriting deteriorates and there are lots of corrections squeezed in, making the draft contract very difficult to read.
