I recommend this because I'm left with one loose paper that I'm not sure should be loose. Since I have the inventory in the order the papers arrived, I think I'll be able to go back and see if it shouldn't be part of some other document in the file.<br /><br />It was a little hard to tell which papers were fronts and backs of each other and if more than two pages belonged together.<br /><br />I agree, though, that having them in chronological order should tell me more about Ellis's situation during the latter part of his life.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-64710547317768879192012-01-17T00:18:59.684-05:002012-01-17T00:18:59.684-05:00I like the way you organized the pages, Nancy.

For some reason I thought I should leave them in the order in which they came, but arranging them chronologically makes so much more sense. You can get a much better overview that way. Thanks for the idea!Shelley Bishophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488453243236670013noreply@blogger.com
