Scope and content

RS has sent WW 'four little compasses, the least and cheapest I could get. There is a smaller kind, but not fitted up in a plain way; they are mounted like your little watch compass but I could get you some made plain'. Both [Schmalkalders] and Casey would be willing to make one.
