Is-is-fonds SD. - Drafts,

The Roberts & Evans archive included an incomplete annual series of bundles of drafts, sometimes further arranged into draft conveyances, leases, mortgages and reconveyances, abstracts of title, wills, and miscellaneous draft papers. Of these, the draft wills have been retained (SD 1), as well as draft deeds relating to public undertakings (SD 2), and a small sample of miscellaneous draft papers (SD 3). The rest were returned to the depositor, the successor in business to Roberts & Evans. A list is available in hard copy at the reader’s desk containing a lightly edited version of an uncompleted preliminary list of the drafts in Roberts & Evans boxes 64-76 before they were weeded; this is the only record of the drafts in those boxes that were returned to the depositor. Further drafts and executed final versions of some of these deeds may well be among the clients’ papers (C).
