http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42319616

The daybook is "The Rural accountant: a complete and simple system of keeping plantation and farm accounts for the use of the practical planter and farmer," published by Walker, Evans & Cogswell of Charleston, SC, in 1876. It contains general agricultural information such as weights and measures, prices, wage scales and planting guides. There are several individual accounts of sales or transactions and what may be a monthly time roll entered into the daybook. At the back of the book is an "Article of Agreement made and entered into between John Jenkins and the Freedmen and women whose names are hereto attached ... February 17, 1877" in which Jenkins agrees to provide land and other items in return for their labor.
