1800's Secretary Question

Recently I bought this flip/flap-top secretary at a local auction & have a question regarding the usage of one of the compartments on the writing surface area.

I understand what the pen holder/tray & ink bottle holder are but what is the purpose of the last box that's half obstructed by a wooden wedge?
