[QUOTE="Vinny2, post: 3943768, member: 19635"]The first year after I.S. is also 1820. And there is another 1816 on the very bottom edge underneath the first 1816. It seems to have some relation to importation sales. Some of the foreign goods were refused for importation for whatever reason (I’m thinking just not deemed profitable enough) and the wording they use in the importation reports is very similar to the writing on this paper. The one I looked at was reports from the East India Trading Co. in 1804. Perhaps someone just thought the marbled paper looked nice and had enough blank paper for the inside and put the rest on the bottom. However there is the possibility there is more writing on the inner piece if you were to remove it (probably not a good idea unless it’s very loose).[/QUOTE]
