BAKER.] BRITISH MAPS. VI) 
The drawing was done by Edward Freyhold, of No. 41 Sharp street. 
Baltimore, by L. D. Williams, and by Theodor Kolecki. Freyhold 
did the "hill work" i.e., the hachures- and the others the outline, 
lettering, etc. Prior to February, 1864, Freyhold had drawn the hill 
work on detail sheets 3 and 7. 
Among the papers is an unexecuted contract (apparently the original 
draft) between the United States Northwestern Boundary Commission 
and Edward Freyhold, whereby Freyhold agrees to draw the hill 
work on sheets 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 "similar and not inferior to certain 
other work executed by him on sheets 3 and 7" for $1.75 per square 
inch, and to complete the work "before the 31st day of August, 1864." 
Sheet 4 was finished March 5, 1864, and contained 2ll£ square 
inches of hill work; sheet 6 was finished April 26, 1864, and contained 
24l».2 square inches of hill work; sheet 5 was finished June 6, 1864, 
and contained 137 T 5 (T square inches of hill work; sheet 2 was finished 
August 13, 1864, and contained 225^ square inches of hill work. 
There is no record as to No. 1, but it is probable that it was finished 
on March 5, so that the hill work was all completed by August 13 
and the drawing of the final maps completed about the beginning of 
the year 1865.
