  • General note

    The purpose of the cotton thread has not been ascertained.
    The threads are made of different denier counts or thickness.
    Each item was wrapped in rectangular sheets of paper and labelled on the outside. This text is difficult to discern due to the paper perishing and fragmenting.
    Where a person's name appears, it is assumed that this represents the owner of the horses.
    "Cap-a-pie" and "Tross" were horses owned by Helenus and Robert Scott.
