JOSEPH R. MILLER, ESQ.

Judge Story's is a very excellent hand, and has the air of being

written with great rapidity and ease. It is rotund, and might be

characterized as a _rolling hand_. The direction of the letters

occasionally varies from right to left, and from left to right. The

same peculiarity was observable in Mr. Flint's. Judge Story's MS. is

decidedly picturesque. The lines are at equal distances, but lie

diagonally on the page. The paper good, of a bluish tint, and folded

to form a marginal line. The seal of red wax, and stamped with a

common compting-house stamp.
