This old leather-bound ledger has the number "4" on the back binding. It measures 13 and one quarter inches in length by 8 inches wide and 2 inches thick when closed. There is a black scalloping line around the perimeter of the front cover. There is a pattern of "x" shapes on the binding with black lines wrapped around the shapes. The entries are in cursive and the dates range from 1806-1821although the years are not necessarily set up chronologically. At the top of each page is a date and a name with three columns to the right with headings. One of the headings seems to designate a book reference and another a count. On the left side of each page are years in graduated order by which transactions are listed. It appears that most of the entries deal with supplies and work payments.
