His copy of "Rules" is bound with "Acts and Joint Resolutions of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, Passed at the Regular Session of 1869-'70, Part II, Containing the Code [that is, the Code of Procedure of the State of South Carolina]." The jointly bound works contain over 20 pages of Butler's notes, all in his hand in ink, offering insight into recontruction-era law in South Carolina. Some of the notes are on lined notebook paper bound with the works
