Signed by Isaac T. Brown, notary public. Signed clerically for Spinner as as Treasurer and J. M. Edmunds (possibly James Madison Edmunds) as secretary. Includes a partially printed document signed 1 March 1870 by C. E. Evans, who asserts that his wife M. W. Evans lost a wool shawl, coat, cape, and head dress at the Inaugural Reception and Ball held 4 March 1869. Brown signs, attesting that the prices Evans cited for his missing articles are just. Spinner and Edmunds sign 4 March 1870 authorizing the payment of $33.50 to Evans from the Inaugural Fund, New York Monument. Printed text indicates that Spinner and Edmunds sign from the Room of the National Monument Association in Washington, D. C. A smaller printed document signed by Charles E. Loew, clerk of the city and county of New York, is attached to Evans's statement. Loew certifies that Isaac T. Brown was a notary public for New York at the time he signed Evans's claim. Loew signs 1 March 1870. Includes the name "C. A. [Elmire?]" written on verso of Evans's claim.
