As an historical re-enactor I often portray an Indentured Servant broker ca. 1800. In that character one had to have a certain amount of specie on hand. This was often carried in a leather poke carried in a waistcoat pocket or contained in a possibles bag similar to this one. Gold and silver coins were the most common forms of payment. If you look closely at this image you may notice a few odd shaped triangular silver pieces known as pieces of eight. These are so called because the Spanish silver dollar was cut into 8 pieces. One such piece is called a bit; 2 bits equaled a quarter, 4 bits 50 cents and so on. For a long time this was the only way fractional currency was made. A wax sealed letter is also visible in this image.
As a broker of Indentured servants I was essentially a middle man who bought the indentures of migrants or prisoners that came to the New World for a number of reasons. We prepared the legal documents, filed them in court, and saw to the exchange of money between the servant and the person who purchased the indenture. We took a cut of that purchase as our fee. We would often meet ships from overseas who carried indentured servants to the New World and purchase the indentures from the ships captains. We then resold those indentures to people who needed a servant or worker locally. Most persons who came to the New World in the mid 18th century to the mid 19th century came here under indenture. Other Indentured servants came here either because they were convicted of a crime or otherwise needed to settle a debt. Parents sometimes indentured their children when they could not afford them. In theory, the children would get a room and board while also learning a trade. The parents would receive the money for the indenture to pay their expenses and debts. If you think about it, we were much like a sports or entertainers agent who sought out prospects and arrange terms of employment while taking a cut of that person's earnings as a fee.
1743 Power of Attorney document, donated by Chedo Graham
A folded sheet of foolscap paper on the first page of which is recorded a Power of Attorney given by William Norris of Norwich, Norfolk County, England, esquire, described as Steward of the Manors of Winterton, Mantby, and Brampton, and of the courts thereof, appointing Robert Ferrier, gentleman, of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, to act as deputy to accept surrender by Matthew Davy and Rachel Davy, his wife, of land held by them pursuant to a copy of the manorial court roll (copyhold tenure) and to then deliver possession of the land to Benjamin Knight, of East Somerton, Norfolk County, to hold on comparable terms.
Dated January 5, 1743, the document, about 7½” x 12”, is written in English, was signed and sealed by the principal and, after the impression of an eight penny (8d) revenue stamp in the upper left corner, was witnessed, on the second page, by John Shalnor and Sarah Carrison, the latter signing by her mark. Opposition to the requirement that all legal documents, newspapers, etc., had to bear revenue stamps of this character formed one ground of complaint by American colonists over “taxation without representation.”

A parchment title deed between John Grimston and Alexander Johnston involving a parcel of land at Newport, Isle of Wight, in the English Channel, dated January 1, 1559 (in the first year of the reign of Elizabeth I) with wax seal appended. Approximately 12½” x 10¼”, the document is worded in Law Latin, with many abbreviations, making translation difficult.

Fragmentary seal of the Cathedral Chapter of Glasgow. Pendant on a tag.
The seal would have been a representation of the demi-figure of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, within a quatrefoil design.
The document is written on parchment in Latin in a clear, rounded court hand with a prominent curl attached to each ascenders. The r sometimes falls apart in two strokes. The need for speed is apparent as we can sometimes see the movements of the quill on the paper, notably concerning the d's and abbreviation marks.

Clio kissing her deadname goodbye; the notarized court petition, 2 copies, court order, 2 SASEs, $48.50 money order being dropped into the mail slot at the post office. This represents the beginning of Clio's *legal* transition. It was 2 months between this and full legal recognition on all scopes (local name change, financial name change, state gender change on driver's license, national social security gender change, international passport). Clio paused it after all those, though. Fast forward to July, 2018, and Clio still needs to do her birth certificate, mortgage, car titles, homeowners insurance, marriage certificate, and credit history merge.
Transition Progress at this point: On hormones since 8/1 (3.5 months). Dosage doubled 3 months in, because my T was still at 350 (down from 550). E was at a miserable 50. Full-time female since 9/15 (2 months). Publicly out as trans since 10/11 (5 weeks). Boobs sore/growing since 9/4 (2 months). Had seen endocrinologist/primary therapist 4X, and concluded secondary therapy after 7X w/2 therapists. Weight down to 143lbs (54lbs down from 2012's 197). Hair removal includes 21 electrolysis treatments totaling 16.5 hours; 26 laser hair removal sessions (43 area treatments: 13 mouth, 12 goatee, 11 face, 10 neck, 7 chest, 7 armpit, 6 leg, 5 Brazilian, 5 ear); and bi-weekly at-home IPL on arms since 6/17 (5 months). Latisse for eyelash lengthening since 4/17 (7 months). 2 dental implants. Pierced ears. Dyed/layered hair (no haircuts for 2.75yrs--since 1/2015). Female wardrobe replacement was up to 370 items. Total expenditures over $13,000.

Clio received her new social security card! Things were moving along quick!
This also means that she is legally female, at the federal level. One big hitch, though: Social Security Cards don't have gender! So you can't just show up places and prove that you are legally female with this. Extra hoops have to be jumped through. Really annoying. The one time you want a gender marker on an id, and it doesn't have it.

Yang Xingwen Released, Yang and Wife Both Placed Under Residential Surveillance
October 10, 2015 18:45:45 by Volunteer Huang Qi Source: 64Tianwang
[Tiangwang Beijing October 10, 2015] This afternoon, the Chongqing Municipality Yubei District Rights Protector Chen Mingyu [see article Over 200 People Forcibly Demolish the Home of Cheng Mingyu Appeals Court Rejects Case] To the China Tianwang Human Rights Center: Yang Xingwen Released, Yang and Wife Put Under Residential Surveillance
According to the report, on September 3, 2015 at 10 AM, the Chongqing Municipality Yuzhong District Daxigou Police Station released Yang Xingwen who had earlier been captured at the Liberation Monument. Immediately after his capture, the Beibu Xin District police criminally detained him on suspicion of troublemaking. [see the report Tianwang Chongqing Organization A Visit to the Families of Wei Wenyuan, Xiao Jianfang, Liu Lin, Yang Xingwen]. On October 9 at 6 PM Yang Xingwe was released. At present, Yang Xingwen is undernourished, not in good mental health, has high blood pressure, feels faint, and has an irregular heartbeat. He will soon seek medical care.
We understand that the Chongqing Municipality Beibei District Detention Center released Yang Xingwen, the Beibu Xin District Public Security Bureau gave him a document on the decision to put him under residential detention. Currently, the police have also put Yang Xingwen's wife Tang Guimei also under residential surveillance.
[Translator's note: The residential surveillance orders for Yang and His Wife Tang Guimei [photographs in the original Chinese language version] stipulate that with the permission of the unit supervising unit, they must not leave home, must not meet anyone, must not communicate with anyone. They are also ordered to report promptly for interrogation when ordered, not to destroy evidence or to make false evidence and not to intimidate witnesses. They are required to surrender all their identification documents to the supervising unit for safekeeping. ]

You'd think it would be as easy as taking the required documents to the DMV, in order to change your gender. But nooo. Oh, if you go there, they'll tell you you have what you need. And then two hours later, when you finally get to the front of the line, they'll tell you they don't have what they need. True story. In the end, you have to get the Doctor's Note (previous picture) sent to Richmond, so you can get the Special Richmond Note (this note), and then go BACK to the DMV with the Special Richmond Note.
I mean really, look at this b.s. -- "Medical Evaluator Senior"? As far as anyone should be concerned, the only medical evaluation the DMV should be performing on individuals is that which determines if they can drive (i.e. the eye exam). This is incredibly oppressive, especially given that you get your gender changed federally before going to the state. So at this point, the state is creating an extra gate, despite that gate already having to be passed in order to get the federal recognition. The main problem here seems to be that Social Security Cards don't have a gender. (Why should they, to be honest?) But the Social Security Administration absolutely stores what gender people are, as part of benefits distribution. So the only organization you have to go through to change your gender nationally... Won't give you anything beyond a note confirming it. And that note is no good at the DMV, even though state authority cedes to federal authority. So you have to jump through the same hoop, yet again. Except in this case, you have to use a letter to get another letter to get an ID, which is one more level of indirect bureaucratic b.s. than should be necessary.
So anyway -- now Clio has all she needs to get her new license with her new name and gender. Yayy!! But what a pain!
