Benjamin Standish papers
Collection — Folder: S3259
Identifier: S3259
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of a notebook (1857-1887), a letter to Benjamin and Malinda (August 16, 1863), a juror's summons (August 1, 1872), and a receipt for a registered letter (1874). The notebook is of the most interest
because it starts out as what appears to be Benjamin's arithmetic notebook, but is later used for some budgetary accounts, poetry, and doodling.
