MS (MHi); entirely in Dawson’s hand; with covering letter subjoined.
Dawson indicates that some transactions in this account were authorized by a “note.” Probably written by TJ (see similar notes to James Leitch starting at 4 Oct. 1811), none of those referenced above are recorded in SJL and none have been found.
1. Abbreviation for “penny.”
2. The correct sum is $108.77.
