	+	Promisory notes describing an agreement between [[James Elgie Beals]] and the family of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Adams for the total sum of $250. The following transcription was done on 27 Sep 2006 by [[Richard Brady Williams]]:

	+	[top note]
	+
	+	July 24, 1941
	+	One year after date we promise
	+	to pay to the order of Mr. R. E. Adams
	+	Two Hundred Dollars
	+	Without defalcation, value received, with interest from date at 5% per year
	+	And further, we do hereby empower any Attorney of any Court of Record within the United States or else-
	+	where, to appear for us and after one or more declarations filed, confess, judgement against
	+	as of any term for the above sum, with Costs of Suit and Attorney's commission of 5 per cent for collection
	+	and release of all errors, and without stay of execution and inquisition and extension upon any levy on real estate is hereby
	+	waived, and condemnation agreed to and redemption of personal property from levy and sale on any execution hereon, is
	+	also hereby expressley waived, and no b[text missing] exemption be claimed under and by virtue of any exemption law now in force
	+	or which may be hereafter passed.
	+
	+	Witness_____________ hand and [text missing] [signed] J. E. Beals (seal)
	+	[signed] [text missing] E. Beals (seal)
	+
	+	[bottom note]
	+
	+	This note is identical to the first, except for the following two parts:
	+	* The date is different; the month begins with an M, the year is probably 1942 or possibly 1943, but definitely not 1941. The remainder of the date is missing.
	+	* The amount of borrowed money is $50 instead of $200.
	+
	+
	+	Note that the first initial of the second name signed at the bottom is not clear in either note. It is definitely not a J., and the only other ?.E. Beals on file is James Elgie Beals's son, [[Robert Elgie Beals]]. However, the fragments of the initial that are visible suggest a "T" or "F."
