[Benjamin] Hicks Old Plan [?]. Included in the book are entries concerning lumber and other business transactions, milk accounts, a list of letters written by Hicks in 1894, a page of memos regarding the Roslyn Savings Bank, and several pages that deal with the Bryant Library, including a letter written by Hicks on behalf of the library’s board of trustees. </text>
