This is not complete cataloging--awaits scanning
12 1/2"h x 7 5/8"w x 1/2" d ledger. The cover has remnants of dark green marbled paper; some has worn away and some has been cut away. Some of the paper has been missing for a long time, because calculations were made on the exposed cardboard corner in the same hand as the interior of the book. Each inside cover has been covered with records, but the entries are 180 degrees from the entries in the text block. The paper has browned to a considerable degree and some of the handmade ledger rulings have faded; it depended on the ink. Most of the entries are in brown ink, but there are some entries in blue ink and in pencil. There are eleven loose sheets and one fragment on different paper in the front of the book.

Many of the sheets are records of labor
Some sheets are divided in half to allow a record of interaction with two people
Some pages are headed "Farming in Co[mpany] with Jno. Parsons"
