General

From inventory: "A paper around the size of a business card. One side is in ink written by James Oakey, evidently a Branch financial report:

Nottingham Branch debt last week 1 0 4

July 10 48 Stars no 28 3 7 19 Journals no 10 2 11 28 . 14 23 1 6 10 (signed) James Oakey

On the other side in very faint pencil in Tom’s handwriting ... I suspect this was a draft for his trail diary. The entry seems to have been made July 27 in Florence. Perhaps he had taken the financial records as scratch paper. A similar financial note dated August 7, 1858 has more pencil handwriting on the reverse. I think these may a draft for a note in Tom’s journal for June 27, 1862."
