                                                 HARVEY MITCHE[L]L

"Mr. D[awe]s" was undoubtedly the photographer E. Herbert Dawes, listed in this advertisement on March 21, 1842, in the Lynchburg Virginian, in the same setting. Did Harvey Mitchell acquire some or all of his equipment and supplies?
