Bruce,
There is some interesting information in that box of papers actually, I know because I've seen photocopies of it. Some letters between Charles Parker and Johnson come to mind specifically. To say it's a bunch of scribbled notes is kinda stupid knowing that sort of thing is in there to be looked over. There's also letters from former employees and letters from family members of dead employees too. Maybe we're talking about a different batch of papers here, but I know what I saw copies of and read had come from Johnson at least. Maybe that's not what your "friend" bought after Johnson died, I just know what I saw several years ago.
