Provenance Details
Provenance: This item was with the Williams papers (originally MS W72, then MS-335, and now MS-91-75). Nola Easdale, who reorganised the Williams collection, thought this was an 'orphan' that had been inadvertently included with the Williams papers and should be taken out and added to the Charles Baker papers. It was easier, however, to re-accession and re-catalogue the item separately with references to the other Baker papers.
