- Notes
- The location of the original 1812 receipt is unknown. The location of this typed document is unknown.
The title and the first two sentences of the typed document provide some context for the original 1812 receipt, but the author of these statements is unknown. The rest of the text appears to be a direct transcription of the 1812 receipt which would have been handwritten.
A photocopy of this typed document was found in a photo album entitled Colborne 125th Anniversary Committee. Written on inside front cover of this: Reproductions of glass negatives and positives of Colborne, Ontario's past - early 1900's - belonging to Arnold Warren and the Wm. C. Griffis family. Developed by Wm. Bennett (cousin of Joan & Harold Harnden under the auspices of the 125th Anniversary Committee celebrating Colborne's 125th Birthday 1859-1984).
The photo album was unstable and the prints were removed and are now located in a document storage box. - Date Of Event
