The document was folded once at the bottom third of the leaf. Two diagonal cuts in the shape of an “X” were made through the signature of E. M. Ryland.
This document and a register’s office certificate were sent together to the General Land Office in for approval, then returned to the Land Office in , Missouri, and filed there. Records from the Lexington Land Office were relocated to the Bureau of Land Management when the Lexington Land Office closed in 1922.
