& Priscilla Dorsey, full

Judge Bond. First iron 
works in America

Carroll House
Whitehall

Transcription Notes:
Belmont built by Caleb & Priscilla Dorsey "works" usually is iron works or earth works or water works, but none of those look like that word before works. Can't find Judge Bond owning any 'works' in baltimore. Maybe there was a portrait painting of Judge Bond in the house. Seems unlikely that it was the "first iron works in America", but Dorsey did operate an iron forge there.
