http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122397637

The volume opens with twenty-seven pages of invoices dated from January 1810 to February 1811 for purchases made by Elisha and Levi Kirk. Such items as combs, chalk, tools, hardware, snuff boxes, spices, dishes, books, scythes, kitchen utensils, fabrics, and reams of paper were bought primarily in Philadelphia and Lancaster, Pa. and Wilmington, De. The remainder of the manuscipt is devoted to mill activities. Entries include the customer's name and method of payment received in exchange for either a quantity and type of paper or an amount of wood sawed. Wood was also sold at the mill. Many customers paid their debts with farm produce or rags, which were in turn used to make paper.
