10 May 1787. LETTER ABOUT WORKMAN REMOVING MATERIALS. Bundle 60, Doc 35. 32 cm x 19.5 cm, folded in half to make four pages. Page 3 left blank. Remains of a red seal and small hole where it was torn open with no loss of writing. The list of payments in Christopher DOBSON’s handwriting appears to have nothing to do with the letter. Three short words looking like writing practice (a, an, and) not transcribed. Geor. ARNESON 10. May 1787 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bleatarn Tho. LAMB’s Wid 4 ––––––– Wm.
