Commitment Warrant

A legal commitment warrant for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This, along with two copies of the "Certificate of Insanity" I posted earlier this week, would comprise the "commitment papers" used to send a patient to a mental hospital in the 1920's.

Print both sides of the warrant on a light blue or gray heavy bond paper, and the two certificates on heavy bond white paper. Fill out the forms, preferably with a fountain pen. Stack the sheets with the warrant on the bottom, seal side facing down, topped by the certificates, and then fold the stack into thirds.
