content: There were [formerly] 3 objects numbered and tracked as 2826 when there should only be 1, per Jane Walsh. Jane indicates that the one currently identified as E2826, # 1 of 2, should be the correct E2826. One of the others, E2826 # 2 of 2, may be Catalogue # E4679 (Peale # 1773), per Jane Walsh. Per Jane # 2 of 2 also has written on the back in Titian R. Peale's hand, "Feejee Dish TRP ___, June ___", implying that Peale collected it. [this object, as of 2017, is still tracked as E2326 (2 of 2), pending additional information] There was formerly a third vessel numbered 2826. As of 2017, it has been identified as # E23898 by Dr. Stephanie Leclerc-Caffarel, and has been changed to that number.
