Memorandum cashbooks, 1910-1920.

The State Almshouse at Tewksbury, established as a residence for paupers of the Commonwealth, evolved after closing of other state almshouses in 1872 into an institution for ill or infirm public charges who could not be transferred to the State Workhouse (later State Farm) or otherwise discharged. The institution managed an annual budget to sustain its operations. Memorandum cashbooks record petty cash transactions on a daily basis.
