Isaac Palmer account book, 1880-1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/757517914

Isaac Palmer farm ledger contains work records of various people, along with sales of hay, lumber, straw, fence posts, eggs, butter, chickens, lard, etc., running from 1880-1885 and then 1900-1903. This ledger may have been kept in Amenia, Dutchess County, New York, as there are several mentions of it inside, while other town names are apparently lacking. However, most of the personal names in the ledger can be traced to Sharon, Litchfield County, Connecticut in the 1880 U.S. Census, which is only about five miles away.
