Manuscript, in a single hand, which records the amounts of money, bonds, and interest earned each year, as well as debentures, bounties, certificates, and salaries paid on such items as duties on wine, peppers, candles, apples, and glass; beaver skins; hops; coal; wrought plate; East India wrought silks; rice; linens; and sugar. Following these accounts, possibly in another hand, is a entry in which the writer reflects on "the public welfare" and the contrasting views of youth and age. The manuscript also includes poems and stanzas, with numerous corrections, of poems praising the sun; a poem to "Dr. John"; and a poem titled Farewell Dr. Mai[?].
