Notes:
1. No. 75
Written in an unknown hand, possibly that of Joseph Whistler Revillon (1886-1955), JW's great-nephew [more].
2. 8 August 1856
The accounts, dating from 25 November 1855 to 8 August 1856, were presumably sent to JW in August 1856.
3. George William Whistler
George William Whistler (1822-1869), engineer, JW's half-brother [more]. He had been JW's guardian and on 30 July 1855 had been given power of attorney to act for JW while he was in Europe (#06670, #06671).
4. T. Winans
Thomas De Kay Winans (1820-1878), locomotive engineer and collector [more]. Winans' loan to JW is recorded on 1 August 1855, #07078.
5. Warbash
The Wabash and Erie canal between Indiana and Ohio ran into trouble when the State of Indiana granted the railroad rights to build alongside the canal. Conflicts between State and shareholders in 1854-55 ended with the closure of the canal company (S. Dunbar, History of Travel in America, New York, 1937, pp. 843, 845).
