    I found images of the Geo Taylor letter mentioned on a compass thread in the military section that I sold around 15 years ago at auction. To repeat part of the story this was something unwanted and discarded mid last century that realized $11k plus buyers premium around 2009 roughly.

    it is printed on hand laid paper held together glued to an old sheet of lined school paper. The letter describes a labor contract in payment for passage to the new world. Signed by Geo Taylor signor to the Declaration of Independence.

    Lord-wished I'd had a few relatives in the trade when I was a kid.An 'Uncle Lovejoy' would've come in handy ! Lots of folks parents round here owned shops and some of 'em really know their ***.
