Along the right back wall and next to the corner, a filing cabinet stands. A clipboard hangs to the right of it from the chair rail. To the right of James, a typewriter sits atop a small, low table. The left wall appears to be windowed, but the windows are opaque. Next to James at left and along the left edge, 3 telephones stand on a small table. Behind them, a calendar is flipped to "10 FEB." A board hangs to the left of it and the wall extends towards the center, abutting the right wall. Text from negative sleeve: 2048. S.P.R.R.- James A.
