content: This string of shell beads is marked in several places as "9538". That is not the correct number (according to the ledger book, 9538 is a set of earrings, and that is accounted for as E9538-0). The beads do seem to match the (vague) description of 9588, "Indian shell beads or wampum, one string", and 9538 seems a plausible mistranscription for 9588. So this object is tentatively re-identified as A9588-0.
