Davis had general cleaning out at the
bank and dumped in the river over the
new bridge several barrels of old papers,
among them being a batch of cancelled
Boston drafts. In early April, Frank La
due, formerly of Bethel, went fishing in
Lynn harbor. On his return be saw a
piece OF paper near the shore. He poked
II with his oar and saw the name of f. A.
Davis on il. He knew Mr.. Davis and was
interested and found that the
paper was Boston draft in good state OF
preservation. This week he sent the pa
per back to Mr.. Davis who states il was

this paper 90 down the Connecticut and
drift around in the ocean to Lynn harbor,
Mass Mr.. Davis thinks it did. Ii
