Arrangement
This small collection is housed in a single folder. The materials were seemingly originally part of a single volume, but at the time of reprocessing the archivist found several loose sheets along with the volume, as well as folded pages that were deteriorating along their creases. The pages are in order of the original volume as much as possible.
