Manuscript consists of three parts. The first part is a record of goods that the New Lebanon, N.Y. Shakers gave away to the needy from 1806-1814. Contributors' names and the items they donated are included. The second part, covering 1816-1820, has to do chiefly with money that the Shakers paid out in business transactions. The third part, in addition to listing charitable contributions, records money received by the New Lebanon community to carry on with its programs, such as construction and schooling, and for the support of some of its residents. Most of these entries date from the 1820s.
