Additional Comments:
This appears to be a preprinted form with the names, dates, name of the 
Governor, and monetary amount, etc. hand written into the blank spaces. The 
seals appear to be drawn. It appears that the person who signed for Eliza 
Roberson (Robertson) was the same who filled in the form. Will Cray and Robert 
W. Snead, both of whom were attorneys, I believe, signed for themselves. One 
of them may have filled out the document but I cannot be sure.
