Consists of accounts and receipts of several Newbury and Newburyport, Ma. joiners, including Joseph Rolfe and William and Paul Gerrish, for work done and goods sold to them.

Such activities as building and repairing bulkheads, rails, planks, and window frames; framing doors; shingling; planing; finishing rooms; putting up garden fences; and making coffins and a clock case are mentioned.
