		6: Notes, Invitations, Miscellanea [subseries]:
		Notes (all in WMS's hand except the last two)
Box   5	Folder   1	Syllabus, with required readings; probably from WMS's years at the College of New Jersey.
		A list of college classes, beginning on a Tuesday and going to the following Monday, with only Sunday omitted; probably from WMS's years at the College of New Jersey.
		A set of 5 series of surnames, followed by "Valedictory. D. Crawford": perhaps a list of College of New Jersey graduates or graduation speakers (WMS's name is not among them).
		"Catalogue of Books," divided into "Classicks & French," "Class Books & Books of Science," "Novels & Plays," "Books of a miscellaneous kind," "Musick"; probably WMS's library, with catalogue written in what appears to be a formal variety of his hand.
		"Provincialisms noticed in the Western part of Pennsylvania," a series of equivalents in the form "A for B," signed (on reverse) "Skelton," followed by WMS's height and weight measured in "Peal's Museum" on 8 February 1826 then signed again "W.M. Skelton."
Box   5	Folder   2	Recipe "To boil a Fowl"; this leaf was found in item (a) (1818-[3]4) in section II.A.2, but it is not certain if it was there originally: the hand is quite different and appears to be untrained.
		"Kate's Manumission Papers," (at the top of the second quarter (from the left) of the recto), probably in a Skelton family hand (but earlier than the late family hands in section F below).
		Invitations Scope note: Some on backs of playing cards, marked with * below.
