Transactions
: These transactions are arranged alphabetically in folders under the name of Richardson's clients. The papers having been separated originally in this manner by Richardson, it was thought best to allow them to remain in this order. Correspondence, deeds, and tax receipts are, therefore, filed together under the person's name with whom the transaction was made. The Doty material is filed in this group.
