The dossier holds 3 documented facts — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. Access is restricted, and the file says so plainly.

James House is the barber — the 'freedom seeker' that's the escaped turned prosperous, the '$17,000' that's the 1867 worth. The 'James Block' is the built — the 'three-story brick' that's the '63 raised, the 'Fall and Cayuga' that's the business district. The 'only signature' is the stood — the 'anti-slavery petition' that's the lone Black name, the 'Free Soil '48' that's the again alone.
The 'scrapbooks' is the found — the 'Goodyear's clippings' that's the fugitive revealed, the 'diligent enquiry' that's the relatives sought. The 'Judge Taney' is the defied — the 'contrary notwithstanding' that's the editorial wrote, the 'trodden race' that's the paper's sneer turned praise. James is the epitome — the 'what freedom offered' that's the taken fully, the 'Wesleyan trustee' that's the church's '43.
The file keeps the James house: the barber's fortune, the Block built, the lone signatures, and the scrapbook's proof.
Thomas James House is the archive's New York file — the fugitive who thrived.
