Notes: "In 1902 Prof. Williston, of the Harvard Law School, was requested to prepare the draft of a Uniform Act concerning the law of sales. This draft was submitted ... in 1903 and action on it was deferred for a year. It was ordered to be printed and distributed throughout the country ... for consideration at the next Conference. It was taken up at the Conference held at St. Louis in 1904 ... was again ordered to be printed and distributed in its corrected form, for further consideration by the Conference in 1905. The same course was followed again by the Conference at Narragansett Pier in 1905 and it is now hoped that after further consideration by the Conference in 1906, it will be adopted in final form." --p. 13.

"At the Conference held at St. Louis in 1904 the American Warehousemen's Association made a donation to the Conference to Warehouse Receipts ... accepted by Prof. Williston ... and Barry Mohun, of the bar of the District of Columbia, [who] were requested to prepare such a law. Their draft was considered ... at the Conference held at Narragansett Pier in 1905 ... . It is submitted herewith in print and will be submitted to the Conference in 1906." --p. 14.
