Ed,

I was wondering where it went when I tried to post this reply...

I think that it's a significant piece of history. Not only did not many survive. It is drafted and written by hand. In my opinion, a bit of the person who did it.

The Officer who did it had a good bit of training in Drafting and/or Architectural drawing. I've had 5 years of it. I was an assistant drafting instructor, and graded drawings in a first year class in my Senior year in HS. He knew what he was doing.

His legend is very well done, and I like the text and his description.

I think that's a very neat and scarce find. I would put it in a really nice frame. Make sure that the backing and any matting is acid free and paper safe. Very cool...

Ron
