Collection
John W. Britton mailed the photocopies to Alfred R. Young in either the late 1970s or early 1980s. Letters from John accompanying transmittal of these documents became separated from accompanying documents. One letter is dated November 16, 1978, the other is dated July 2, 1981. Comparison of the two letters and the condition of the copies suggests that this document accompanied the 1978 letter. The photocopies and correspondence are housed in The BenHaven Archives.

This transcription of the document was completed by Al R. Young and Tanner M. Young.
Each page of the exhibit is initialed JWB, presumably signifying John W. Britton.
Only the handwritten content of each page in the photocopy of the original has been transcribed. The form containing the handwritten information appears unrelated to the handwritten content. For example, columnar headings on the form include "Maskinolje(kg.)", "Ammerkninger, arbeider of tildragelser", etc., and the handwritten content does not align with these headings.
