If materials are filed in boxes, is it possible that one number is off? I remember one packet of court papers that according to the index were in box 394. I was positive it said “394.” It turns out the “4” was actually just a funny written “1.”
Or maybe just a mistake.
Either way it took me a while to find the correct packet. If something is not where it is “supposed” to be, consider that one little being off is all that it takes.

Sometimes 4 and 9 look the same. Sometimes a 7 could be either one of them…..or a 7! Numbers are hard!
