Nothing useful here from a conservation standpoint,
but aren't those writing devices actually called "china" markers, because you
can use them to write prices on chinaware and other ceramics? I
think in places less tony than the 5 & 10 cent tableware department
they call them grease pencils.
Looking forward to a good answer to the question,

what he has been, - and for his present merits - but as his principles are
contagious, it will be best for him I think to go where they can do no harm as
in Georgia he will find Jacobins formed to his hand - and who are past being
polluted."

assume the presidency of the University of Georgia, 1801.
