    1. [CARPENTER] C in Carpenter

    3. Gene: Another curious feature in the Wiseman inventory I hope you could comment on is the use of the letter "C" throughout the document. When the writer uses an initial capital "C" in words like "Cupboard" it is unlike the use of capital "C" as the first letter of "Carpenter." If you look at Pearson's calligraphy for example, capital "C" is consistant throughout. It would seem to me that the writer of the inventory had developed a particular flourish when writing his own name which was different when writing ordinary words. I have developed such a habit when inscribing my own name. BC
