[note (type: abstract): A draft of Wheelock’s will.][note (type: handwriting): The first two-plus pages of the document are written in a hand that is other than Wheelock's. It is informal and crowded, yet largely clear and legible. Beginning with the second word of the ninth line on two recto, the hand is Wheelock's (there are also additions made in Wheelock's hand throughout). Wheelock's hand is informal, small and occasionally difficult to decipher.][note (type: paper): Document consists of one large single sheet and one large sheet folded in half to make four pages. The paper is in fair condition, with moderate-to-heavy staining, creasing and wear. A small tear at the top of two recto/verso results in a minor loss of text.][note (type: ink): Brown-black.][note (type: noteworthy): A tag reading "Part of the Frederick Chase Collection given by his heirs" is affixed to both two recto and three verso.]
