This is a hand-written draft indenture dated 3rd October 1868 between Mary Ann Fox (formerly Dodd - at least I think it's "formerly" she might be becoming a Dodd) of Charlton in Medlock, Manchester and James Elvey of the Isle of Thanet; Thomas Hodges of Ramsgate. Also mentions Robert Godfrey Fox as "murdered"! It is difficult to read the hand writing in places, but seems to be quite interesting. The document covers 4 sides (2 sheets of paper - 16" x 10" approx) with a 3rd giving solicitors and signature details.
