Ledger, 1814-1818.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122516448

The volume is marked as an accounts current ledger of E. I. du Pont. It has been erroneously attributed to du Pont's sometime partner, Peter Bauduy, but much of the writing is in du Pont's own hand. The volume records a number of family and company expenses, particularly the raising of merino sheep, the operations of the merino farm and the Newport farm, house expenses, and the boarding of hands. There are accounts with a number of local firms in which du Pont was either a member or drew on for supplies.
