(Heading and opening lines obscured by surface dirt.) Phonetic spelling. The reverse is filled with penciled calculations of algebraic equations, apparently exercises. Near the lower left corner John Brown is penciled in careful script lettering twice. Paper is brittle, creased by 4 horizontal, 2 diagonal, and 1 vertical folds, stained by water
