Invoices, 1784-1834.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261228897

This collection of bills was compiled by the Greene family of New York City between 1784-1834. Most bills document purchases and repairs of household items including such furniture as Windsor chairs, mattresses, stools, frames, and easy chairs. Other expenses are for personal items, including watches and jewelry. Numerous bills addressed to Miss Mary Greene provide information about ownership and operation of a boarding school for young ladies. Bills for china and glassware, coal, carriage hire, books, paper, school furniture, and lessons in dancing, music, and drawing are included. As well, there are several bills for tuition of the Greene children at various schools. The travel expenses for a journey to Pennsylvania and Tennessee in 1796 document food and lodging charges; it is not known who undertook this journey. Several items without any apparent connection to the Greene family are found in the collection.
