Partly-printed DS, one page, 8.5 x 13.5, March 10, 1872. Agreement between Jonathan B. Scorrill and the Erie Railroad company for the purchase of a tract of land "situate in the Village of Susquehanna, State of Pennsylvania" for the sum of $75. Signed in the lower left corner by Gould as the company's president. In fine condition, with short splits to the ends of the folds.
