    The Title Block on this beautiful Mylar plan reads:
    "Copy of Plan Showing Lines of Flats in Prison Point Bay Charlestown As Established by Agreement of Parties November 20, 1854, Scale 80 ft to an inch. Signed Thomas Doane and John Doane, Jr. First Copy P.E.B. 1855. Upon Consultation with S. P. Fuller, the lines of City of Charlestown, Tibbetts, Greenleaf & others, Hersey & Greenleaf & others were altered as now laid upon this plan. The original of this cannot be found & is not altered. May 6, 1856. Thomas Doane."
    Handwritten in pencil, it says,
    "A copy by E. B. Oct. 28, 1886."
    This plan measures approximately 27" wide x 16" tall. This plan came from the collection of Wm. H. Whitney.
    This plan is in remarkable condition, especially considering its age. There are no rips or tears. There is very little evidence of foxing or other discoloration due to age. There are no stray marks, except for some pencil-marked notes, presumably made by the surveyors who used this plan in their work. Please consider the photos carefully, as we cannot accept returns on plan.
